Chronic Disease Management

Meaning

A systematic, multidisciplinary clinical approach focused on providing ongoing, coordinated care to individuals living with long-term health conditions that are generally non-curable but controllable, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or autoimmune disorders. Management involves a combination of pharmacological therapy, lifestyle modification, patient education, and regular monitoring to slow disease progression, mitigate symptoms, prevent complications, and maximize the patient’s quality of life and functional independence. This is a continuous process focused on sustaining optimal health within the context of a chronic condition.
