  delivery of pediatric non-communicable diseases – the example of pediatri
 c endocrine care\n\nALL ARE WELCOME\n\nAbstract:\n	\n	Non-communicable disea
 ses (NCDs) contribute significantly to the global burden of diseases. Howe
 ver\, care delivery models in most resource-limited settings remain tailor
 ed to acute and infectious diseases. In many low- and middle-income countr
 ies\, lack of economic resources\, political instability and fragmented he
 alth care systems contribute to a poorly developed chronic disease infrast
 ructure. Social determinants of health including high rates of poverty and
  low literacy render difficult the introduction of the concept of chronic 
 diseases in childhood\, and result in low levels of community awareness. F
 urther challenges include insufficient medical expertise\, lack of diagnos
 tic testing tools\, and suboptimal therapeutic options\, manifesting as ov
 erall poor delivery of care. New models of pediatric chronic care delivery
  are required that address current flaws in health care infrastructure\, a
 ccess to diagnosis and continuity of care\, access to essential medicines\
 , maintenance of supply chains\, and access to adequately trained health c
 are professionals.\n\nUsing Haiti and the delivery of pediatric endocrine 
 and diabetes care as an example\, this talk will illustrate challenges and
  present strategies to improve pediatric chronic diseases care delivery in
  resource-limited settings. One pediatric chronic disease center’s care de
 livery model will be highlighted\, followed by discussion of a Pediatric E
 ndocrine Society (PES) supported Pediatric Endocrinology Education Program
  for Haiti (PEEP-H)\, aimed at providing teaching in pediatric endocrinolo
 gy at all levels of training\, and establishment of subspecialty remote co
 nsultation services. The importance of local\, national and international 
 collaborations will be emphasized\, including with non-governmental organi
 zations\, Haiti’s medical schools\, pediatric residency programs\, profess
 ional associations\, and the Ministry of Health. Lastly\, monitoring and e
 valuation of care delivery models and interventions will be discussed.\n\n
 Objectives:\n\n1. To provide an overview of current challenges global care
  delivery of pediatric chronic diseases.\n\n2. To present a chronic diseas
 e care delivery model using the example of pediatric endocrine and diabete
 s care\n\n3. To highlight the importance of monitoring and evaluation when
  establishing new care delivery models\n\nBio:\n\nDr. Julia von Oettingen
