I received the following article "for the wider ProCOR community" in response to my summary of the HIFA2015 email discussion, and am pleased to forward it on, as it's both excellent and freely available on the web (link below).
The article offers a major review of the current status and projected effects of chronic diseases in low- and middle-income countries. What makes it different from many other chronic disease review articles is its attention to "a unique scenario where current phenomena being experienced in today's low- and middle-income countries differ from those experienced in the past by today's developed nations." These differences are thoughtfully examined in terms of the impact of noncommunicable diseases, their developmental origins and degenerative causes, and their implications for policy and interventions.

Thank you to Jaime Miranda, one of the authors, for kindly sharing this valuable resource.
