health burden across the world. The World Health Organizat...ion has identified control of cholesterol as part of a Total Risk Approach to the prevention of CVD as a public health priority.

Всемирная организация здравоохранения (ВОЗ) описывает наркотическую зависимость как сильное желание потреблять психоактивные вещества, трудно контролируемое по...требление этих веществ, продолжение потребления психоактивных ве-ществ, несмотря на физические, психические и социальные проблемы, связанные с таким потреблением, постепенное повы-шение дозы, и иногда проявления абстинентного синдрома при внезапном отсутствии вещества3. Результаты исследований показывают, что наркотическая зависимость является не отсутствием воли или силы характера, а хроническим рецидивным заболеванием, имеющим психологическую и генетическую основу.

Comprehensive Primary Health Care has an important role in the primary and secondary prevention of several disease conditions, including non-communicable diseases which today contribute to over 60% of the mortality in India. The provision of Comprehensive primary health care reduces morbidity, disab...ility and mortality at much lower costs and significantly reduces the need for secondary and tertiary care. Estimates suggest that almost 52% of all conditions can be managed at the
primary care level.
In order to ensure comprehensive primary health care, close to where people live, Sub- Centres should be strengthened as Health and Wellness Centres (H&WC), staffed by appropriately trained primary health care team. The Medical officer of the Primary Health Centre would oversee the functioning of the SC/HWC that falls in that area.
Services include those that (i) can be delivered at the level of the household and outreach sites in the community by suitably trained frontline workers, (ii) those that are delivered by a team headed by a mid-level health provider, at the level of the Sub-Centre/Health and Wellness Centre and (iii) the referral support and continuity of care within the district health system in rural and urban areas. The package of services is in Box. States would need to either phase in these services or add on additional services based on state specific and local context.

Ключевые показатели наркопотребления за последние годы почти не изменились, но такая стабиль-ность скрывает серьезные перемены на рынках наркотиков. Помимо давно... существующих нарко-тиков, таких как героин и кокаин, расширяется потребление НПВ, а также употребление в немеди-цинских целях рецептурных препаратов (которые появляются либо в результате утечки с законного рынка, либо производятся незаконно). Также растет потребление веществ неясного происхождения, поставляемых через незаконные каналы. Такие вещества продаются под видом лекарств, но пред-назначаются для немедицинского употребления. Спектр доступных потребителям веществ и их комбинаций сейчас беспрецедентно широк.
