Excerpt from the foreword by the Minister for Health -- Chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and chronic kidney disease are some of the key drivers of the burden of disease in the Territory. These conditions have a significant impact on people, families and communities while also placing an increasing burden on our health system. Yet in many instances, these conditions can be prevented. The Northern Territory Government’s vision is for a Territory where all individuals, families and communities are healthy, well and thriving. This new framework aims to keep people healthy and well for as long as possible by focusing on prevention and early intervention. To do this, we are delivering a range of actions aimed at improving health and wellbeing across the whole of the Territory, across our communities, and for our people and families. We are also rethinking how our system operates so we can generate the greatest possible outcomes from our investments.
