Non-Communicable Diseases surveys

The non-communicable disease (NCD) surveys provide a summary of the burden of the key NCDs and their risk factors. They employ similar methodologies and criteria to surveys undertaken in Mauritius in previous years (1987, 1992, 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2015).

Other Surveys

The World Health Survey responds to the needs of countries for a detailed and sustainable health information system and gathers data through surveys to essential population health parameters. It uses standard survey procedures and documents to gather comparable data across WHO members states.

The purpose of the GSHS is to provide accurate data on health behaviours and protective factors among students to: help countries develop priorities, establish programmes, and advocate for resources for school health and youth health programmes and policies; establish trends in the prevalence of health behaviours and protective factors by country for use in evaluation of school health and youth health promotion; and allow countries, international agencies, and others to make comparisons across countries.
