translate English to French: A jurisdiction may not realize the need to dedicate scarce resources toward preventing and controlling diseases that are long term (chronic) and where causation is unclear (non-communicable).4 It is hoped that with further discussion among and efforts from public health researchers and practitioners, a more appropriate term will be available to describe the true nature of a group of diseases that include cardiovascular diseases, cancers, asthmas and diabetes.
J’ose espérer que lorsque les chercheurs et les praticiens du domaine de la santé publique auront poussé plus loin la réflexion et les travaux sur le sujet, ils trouveront un terme plus approprié pour décrire la véritable nature d’un groupe d’affections qui englobe les maladies cardiovasculaires, le cancer, l’asthme et le diabète.
