Increasing Life Expectancy Sample Clauses

Increasing Life Expectancy. South Africa’s life expectancy is adversely affected by communicable diseases such as HIV, TB, malaria, respiratory infections and diarrhoeal diseases; high maternal and child mortality; increasing levels of non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cancer and cardio vascular diseases; as well as violence and trauma related injuries. Maternal and child health and HIV and TB will be covered by outputs 2 and 3 and this section will address outputs on increasing life expectancy through non-communicable diseases, trauma related injuries and communicable diseases that are not part of HIV, AIDS and TB. Malaria continues to contribute to reduction in life expectancy and more than 1 million deaths per annum associated with malaria occur in Africa. Most of these deaths occur among children under 5 years of age. In Sub-Saharan Africa, malaria constitutes a major barrier to social and economic development. In South Africa, malaria is mainly transmitted along the border areas shared with Mozambique, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Three of the nine provinces of South Africa, namely: Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal are endemic for malaria and 10% of the population (approximately 4.9 million persons) are at risk of contracting the disease. Malaria cases in South Africa have been steadily declining over the past 9 years. Between 2000 and 2008, malaria-related morbidity was reduced by 88% (from 64,622 to 7,796 cases for the respective years) and mortality by 90% (from 458 to 46 deaths respectively). Both morbidity and mortality as a result of malaria can be reduced further over the next few years. The country has the capacity to move towards complete malaria eradication. Globalisation has contributed to increased international travel and trade, and the emergence and re-emergence of international communicable disease threats. These threats call for epidemic preparedness and the effective implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHRs). In terms of the IHRs, South Africa is required to develop minimum core public health capacities, and to develop, strengthen and maintain these by July 2012. Non-communicable diseases contributed 28% of the total burden of disease measured by disability-adjusted life years in 2004. Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, respiratory diseases and cancers contributed 12% of the overall burden while around 20% of all mortality is due to non-communicable diseases. The prevalence of mental disorders has been found t...
