Abstract
Today, the South-East Asia Region suffers from a high burden of Non-Communicable diseases and emerging new diseases coupled with social, gender and health inequality gaps within and between countries.

The document entails the importance of Health Promotion and Self-Care as a cost effective strategy to bring down the burden of NCDs and other diseases.
