Nearly 50 percent of all adults have one or more chronic health conditions, and one of four adults have at least two or more chronic health conditions. Long-term illnesses like heart disease, stroke, and cancer are the leading cause of mortality rates worldwide. Despite alarming figures, the healthcare system lacks the structure to handle chronic illness adequately.

Increasing numbers of medical professionals are becoming aware of this need and are formulating ways to treat patients with their personal needs in mind. “In Depth” will explore more about how to go about caring for people with chronic health conditions in the upcoming episode.
