Malawi has a total population of 17.2 million and is classified as a low-income country. Diabetes mortality shows specific figures for ages 30-69 and over, with higher deaths from high blood glucose in both genders. Non-communicable diseases are major contributors to mortality, including cardiovascular diseases (7%), injuries (12%), respiratory conditions (30%), cancers (2%), and diabetes (20%). Diabetes prevalence is 4.3%, with significant risk factors like overweight (19.0%) and physical inactivity (6.2%). The national response includes operational policies and guidelines for diabetes and physical inactivity, but no action plan for overweight and obesity, and no diabetes registry or recent risk factor surveys. Medical resources include some basic tools like blood glucose measurement and HbA1c tests, but limitations exist, such as no diabetes-specific registry. Death rate estimates have high uncertainty due to lack of national NCD data.
