Cost‐effectiveness analysis of integrating screening and treatment of selected non‐communicable diseases into HIV/AIDS treatment in Uganda

Abstract

Providing services for hypertension, DM and high cholesterol for Ugandan ART patients would reduce the overall CVD risk among these patients; it would amount to about 2.4% of national HIV/AIDS expenditure, and would present a cost-effectiveness comparable to other standalone interventions to address NCDs in low- and middle-income country settings.
