Health Outcomes. Bulgaria has achieved significant improvements in health outcomes over time but is still falling behind most EU countries on key health indicators. Infant mortality decreased from 24.5 in 1980 to 10.5 per 1,000 live births in 2012 (Figure 5). Infant mortality in Bulgaria is slightly lower relative to other comparable income and health spending countries. Despite the significant reduction, however, Bulgaria’s infant mortality rate is still more than three times higher than the EU-15 average of 3.2 infant deaths per 1000 live births and almost twice as high as the EU-12 average of 5.5 infant deaths per 1000 live births. More significant improvements were achieved in reducing maternal mortality, which fell from 24 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1990 to 8 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2010. The maternal mortality ratio in Bulgaria is low compared to the global averages relative to income and health spending. Bulgaria has surpassed the EU-12 average of 11.3 deaths per 100,000 live births and is approaching the EU-15 average of 7.6 deaths per 100,000 live births (Figure 6).

Health Outcomes. There are over 3 million people with diabetes mellitus in England. Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes and is one of the leading causes of blindness in the working population in the developed world. Diabetic retinopathy, if left untreated, can lead to sight loss which can have a devastating effect on individuals and their families. By promptly identifying and treating the disease, these effects can be reduced or avoided completely. As diabetic eye screening is just one component of diabetes care, the screening programme should be integrated with routine diabetes care. NDESP contributes to the Public Health Outcomes Framework (DH, 2012) which aims: “to improve and protect the nation’s health and wellbeing and to improve the health of the poorest, fastest.” Specifically diabetic eye screening contributes to: • domain 4: “Healthcare Public Health and Preventing Premature Mortality” • reduced numbers of people living with preventable ill health and people dying prematurely, while reducing the gap between communities • preventable sight loss NDESP also contributes to NHS England strategic priorities in terms of the Mandate 2020 goal of a measurable reduction in the management and care for people with diabetes
