    Abstract Aim: The aim of this study is to review the literature in Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries with regard to their response to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and the implementation of the World Health Organization (WHO) Package of Essential Non-communicable (PEN) disease interventions for primary health care.
    Background: NCDs are estimated to account from 62% to 92% of total deaths in CIS countries. Current management of NCDs in CIS countries is focused on specialists and hospital care versus primary health care (PHC) as recommended by the WHO.
    Methods: This paper uses a scoping review of published and grey literature focusing on diabetes and hypertension in CIS countries. These two conditions are chosen as they represent a large burden in CIS countries and are included in the responses proposed by the WHO PEN.
    Findings: A total of 96 documents were identified and analysed with the results presented using the WHO Health System Building Blocks. Most of the publications identified focused on the service delivery (41) and human resources (20) components, while few addressed information and research (17), and only one publication was related to medical products. As for their disease of focus, most studies focused on hypertension (14) and much less on diabetes (3). The most studies came from Russia (18), followed by Ukraine (21) and then Kazakhstan (12). Only two countries Moldova and Kyrgyzstan have piloted the WHO PEN. Overall, the studies identified highlight the importance of the PHC system to better control and manage NCDs in CIS countries. However, these present only strategies versus concrete interventions. One of the main challenges is that NCD care at PHC in CIS countries continues to be predominantly provided by specialists in addition to focusing on treatment versus preventative services.

    Abstract This review will highlight the current challenges and barriers to diabetes management in low and lower middle income countries using the World Health Organization's 6 Building Blocks for Health Systems (service delivery; healthcare workforce; information; medical products, vaccines and technologies; financing; and leadership and governance). Low and lower middle income countries are characterized by low levels of income and insufficient health expenditure. These countries face a shift in disease burden from communicable to non-communicable diseases including diabetes. Many argue that health systems in these countries do not have the capacity to meet the needs of people with chronic conditions such as diabetes. A variety of barriers exist in terms of organization of health systems and care, human resources, sufficient information for decision-making, availability and affordability of medicines, policies, and alleviating the financial burden of care. These health system barriers need to be addressed, taking into account the need to have diabetes included in the global development agenda and also tailoring the response to local contexts including the needs of people with diabetes.

    Abstract Background: The major burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally occurs in low-and middle-income countries, where this trend is expected to increase dramatically over the coming years. The resultant change in demand for health care will imply significant adaptation in how NCD services are provided. This study aimed to explore self-reported training and competencies of healthcare providers, and the barriers they face in NCD services provision.
    Methods: A qualitative design was used to conduct this study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with government officials within the Mozambican Ministry of Health, district health authorities, health facility managers, and health providers at urban and rural health facilities of Maputo, in Mozambique. The data was then analyzed under three domains: provider´s capacity building, health system structuring, and policy.
    Results: A total of 24 interviews of the 26 planed with managers and healthcare providers at national, district, and health facility levels were completed. The domains analyzed enabled the identification and description of three themes. First, the majority of health training courses in Mozambique are oriented towards infectious diseases. Therefore, healthcare workers perceive that they need to consolidate and broaden their NCD-related knowledge or else have access to NCD-related in-service training to improve their capacity to manage patients with NCDs. Second, poor availability of diagnostic equipment, tools, supplies, and related medicines were identified as barriers to appropriate NCD care and management. Finally, insufficient NCD financing reflects the low level of prioritization felt by managers and healthcare providers.
    Conclusion: There is a gap in human, financial, and material resources to respond to the country's health needs, which is more significant for NCDs as they currently compete against major infectious disease programming, which is better funded by external partners. Healthcare workers at the primary health care level of Mozambique's health system are inadequately skilled to provide NCD care and they lack the diagnostic equipment and tools to adequately provide such care. Any increase in global and national responses to the NCD challenge must include investments in human resources and appropriate equipment.

    Abstract Aims: Describe the outcomes reported in research on health systems interventions for type 1 diabetes management in comparison to the outcomes proposed by a core outcome set (COS) for this condition, an essential list of outcomes that studies should measure.
    Methods: Systematic search of studies published between 2010 and 2021 reporting health systems interventions directed to improve the management of type 1 diabetes using PubMed, EMBASE and CENTRAL. Information on the outcomes was extracted and classified according to a COS: self-management, level of clinical engagement, perceived control over diabetes, diabetes-related quality of life, diabetes burden, diabetes ketoacidosis, severe hypoglycemia, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C).
    Results: 187 studies were included. Most of the studies included either children (n = 82/187) or adults (n = 82/187) living with type 1 diabetes. The most common outcome measured was HbA1C (n = 149/187), followed by self-management (n = 105/187). While the least measured ones were diabetes ketoacidosis (n = 15/187), and clinical engagement (n = 0/187). None of the studies measured all the outcomes recommended in the COS. Additionally, different tools were found to be used in measuring the same outcome.
    Conclusions: This study provides a description of what researchers are measuring when assessing health systems interventions to improve type 1 diabetes management. In contrast to a COS, it was found that there is a predominance of clinical-based outcomes over patient-reported outcome measures.
