Abstract:
NCDs were estimated to account for 83% of the total deaths in Sri Lanka in the year 2016. Continuing regular health services for patients with NCDs, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, is a challenge. Ministry of Health has taken steps to provide guidance and training to continue services of medical clinics in government Healthcare institutions (HI). The aim of the study was to determine the Covid-19 preparedness of medical clinics in government sector HI to provide NCD services. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out involving 682 HI from all health districts of Sri Lanka, recruited by purposive sampling technique.
