In Togo, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and chronic respiratory illness are taking an increasingly central role in public health policies. Despite their often silent nature, these pathologies represent a major challenge for the Togolese population and healthcare system.
Changing lifestyles, increasing urbanization and excessive consumption of harmful products are key factors in the progression of these diseases. In response, the government is deploying improved management strategies, including improving access to care, building treatment centers and implementing prevention programs.
The statistics are alarming: the prevalence of hypertension has risen from 19.6% in 2010 to 27.4% in 2021, while that of diabetes has doubled. Cancers, particularly breast cancer, are also on the rise. To counter these threats, initiatives such as the construction of the Lomé International Cancer Center (CICL), one of the most modern in the sub-region, and a vaccination campaign against HPV, aim to reduce the incidence of these diseases.
Togo is therefore actively committed to more effective management and prevention of non-communicable diseases.
