In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Cognizant of the prevalence of complicated non communicable diseases (NCD) and the attendant capacity problems faced by the health workers in primary care settings, we propose to adapt and pilot the Package of Essential Non-communicable Diseases (PEN) Plus intervention using the Interactive Systems Framework (ISF) and then implement and monitor the impact. The ISF framework proposes and organizes several implementation strategies to achieve Evidence Based Implementation (EBI) adaptation. We will apply these strategies at 2 first level hospitals (Peri-Urban and Rural) to ensure local adaptation and work towards scaling up of the WHO-PEN Plus in the rest of Zambia. This process will be inclusive, involving a Stakeholder Consultation Group that shall include the Zambian Non-Communicable diseases and injuries (NCDI) Poverty Commission and shall report bi-annually to a Project Advisory Board
