Health in Montenegro

Last updated

Montenegro is a country with an area of 13,812 square kilometres and a population of 620,029, according to the 2011 census. The country is bordered by Croatia, the Adriatic Sea, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo and Albania. [1] The most common health issues faced are non-communicable diseases accounting for 95% of all deaths. This is followed by 4% of mortality due to injury, and 1% due to communicable, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions. [2] Other health areas of interest are alcohol consumption, which is the most prevalent disease of addiction within Montenegro [3] and smoking. Montenegro has one of the highest tobacco usage rates across Europe. [4] Life expectancy for men is 74 years, [5] and life expectancy for women is 79. [6]

Contents

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative [7] finds that Montenegro is fulfilling 70.6% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income. [8] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Montenegro achieves 100.0% of what is expected based on its current income. [9] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 92.9% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income. [9] Montenegro falls into the "very bad" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 18.9% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available. [9]

According to the Montenegro Ministry of Health alcoholism is the most prevalent disease of addiction within Montenegro. There are an estimated 30,000 alcoholics within Montenegro out of approximately 620,000 inhabitants. Montenegrins consume 12.8 litres annually. Average global consumption is around 7 litres per person. [3] 20% of Montenegro do not consume alcohol, making the consumption per capita higher. Total costs of GDP attributed to alcohol is between 2% and 5%. [10]

Legal minimum age for purchase of alcohol both on and off premises is 18. National blood alcohol limit for driving a vehicle is 0.3%. [11]

In 2009, elementary schools introduced a school subject called 'Healthy Lifestyles', including study on substance abuse prevention. The intended action area of this plan was community and workplace action towards alcoholism in Montenegro. [12]

In 2012, the National strategy to prevent harmful use of alcohol and alcohol-related disorders in Montenegro, was developed and published. It presented a plan for 2013 to 2020. [12] Areas of priority in the strategy include:

Smoking

Montenegro has one of the highest tobacco-usage rates across Europe. [4]

Prevalence of males and females aged 15 and over was 45.90% as of 2016. This is a 0.2% decline from 2015 when it was at 46.10%. Tobacco use has decreased over the last several years, at a less than 1% decrease each year. [13]

One of the precautions Montenegro has enforced to reduce tobacco use is its ban on smoking in public indoor spaces. The laws began taking effect on August 14, 2019, as although an anti-tobacco law was introduced in 2004 it did not lead to the desired results. The law will ban smoking in all public places such as restaurants, and cafes (however excludes casinos), and violation results in a fine ranging from $560 to $22,370. [4]

Communicable diseases

In 2016, 1% of mortality was accounted to communicable, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions. [2] Neonatal disorders are the communicable disease that causes the most premature death in Montenegro. It has decreased in its causing of premature death, from 4th most likely cause of premature death in 2007, to 15th most common cause of premature death in 2017. [14]

Noncommunicable diseases

Non-communicable diseases account for 95% of all deaths in Montenegro. [2] In 2016, 58% of this is accounted to by cardiovascular diseases, 22% cancers, 3% respiratory diseases, 2% diabetes, 10% other NCDs.

Stroke is the cause of the most deaths in Montenegro, and the most premature death from 2007 to 2017. Over the 10 years, deaths by stroke decreased by 0.9%. Ischemic heart disease caused the second most number of deaths in Montenegro from 2007 to 2017. Over the 10 years, the prevalence of premature deaths from this disease decreased by 2.3%. Lung cancer was the third most fatal diseases in Montenegro from 2007 to 2017. In this period, premature deaths caused by lung cancer increased by 8%. [14]

Cardiovascular disease

The key cardiovascular disease risk factors are

Cancer

Cancer accounted for 1,287 deaths in Montenegro in 2018, 753 in males and 534 in females. [16] There were 2,366 new cases in 2018, 1,226 in males and 1,140 in females. The five most frequent cancers for both sexes are; breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, bladder. The five most frequent cancers for males are; lung, prostate, colorectal, larynx, bladder. The five most frequent cancers for females are; breast, lung, colorectal, cervix uteri, corpus uteri. [16]

Diabetes

In 2015 it was estimated that 12% of the population of Montenegro had diabetes. [17]

Mental health

Montenegro's first official policy on mental healthcare was implemented in 2004 with the Strategy for Improving Mental Health. This strategy set goals regarding general health policy along with steps to develop and implement a national strategy of promotion of mental health. [18]

The Law on the Protection and Realisation of the Rights of the Mentally Ill was implemented in 2005 as a pathway for protecting rights of the mentally ill. The Law covers issues of mental health such as: voluntary and forced hospitalisation; recommendations and grounds for compulsory treatment; treatment in less restrictive environments; and more. [18]

The Action Plan for Improving Mental Health was adopted in 2011 to support the Strategy for Improving Mental Health. It assisted in refining and redefining the laws Montenegro already possessed and aligning these better with the European union and World Health Organisation Standards. [18]

HIV/AIDS

First case of AIDS was reported in 1989. [19] In 2018 it was estimated that less than 500 adults aged 15 and over in Montenegro are living in Montenegro. Prevalence for adults aged 15 to 49 with HIV is 0.1%. Women aged over 15 living with HIV is estimated to be under 100. Men aged over 15 living with HIV is estimated to be under 500. Adult and child deaths due to AIDS is estimated to be less than 100. [20]   ART treatment is covered 100% by the State in Montenegro available to all children in need in an effort to eliminate new HIV infections among children. [19]

Nutrition

Adult nutrition status (20+)

Diabetes in adults has risen. Between 2000 and 2002, the prevalence in women was 6.3%, and 6.1% in men. This rose to 6.6% and 7.6% in women and men respectively in 2014. [21] This is projected to continue rising, with estimates for 2025 at 7.7% and 10.2% for women and men respectively. [22]

The prevalence of raised blood pressure in adults has decreased. For men prevalence was at 36.5% in 2000, and decreased to 34.4 in 2015. For women, prevalence was at 28.9% in 2000, and has decreased to 23.8% in 2015. [21]

Prevalence of overweight and obese individuals has risen. From 2000 to 2016, the prevalence of overweight in women has risen from 45.7% to 52.5%. The prevalence of obesity in women has risen from 17.6% to 23.3%. In men, overweight prevalence has risen from 55% to 66.3%. Obesity prevalence has risen from 14.5% to 23.1%. [21]

Children and adolescents (5–19)

Prevalence of underweight children and adolescents has decreased since 2000. Underweight females have dropped from 17.8% to 14.6%. Underweight prevalence in males has from 16% to 11.4%. [21]

The prevalence of overweight and obese children and adolescents has risen since 2000. In females, overweight prevalence has risen from 11.4% to 19.6%. Obesity prevalence in females has risen from 2% to 5.3%. In males, overweight prevalence has risen from 16.5% to 30%. Obesity in males has risen from 3.8% to 9.8%. [21]

Montenegro has shown the fight against childhood obesity is a priority through programmes such as 'the Fruit, Vegetables, Milk and Milk Products Programme' for schools. This programme was initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture in elementary schools. It involves a multi-sectorial approach, where free milk and fruit meals are distributed to elementary school children weekly. It also educated children about healthy nutrition, nutritional food value and agriculture. [23]

Infants (0-4)

Stunting in infants has risen nationally, from a prevalence of 7.9% in 2005, to 9.4% in 2013. Prevalence is higher in males, at 10.3% in 2013, compared to 8.4% in females. [21]

Prevalence in overweight infants has also risen, from a prevalence of 15.6% in 2005, to 22.3% in 2013. Prevalence is higher in males, at 24.7% in 2013, compared to 19.6% in females. [21]

Policies and actions

The following policies and actions are in place to assist in areas surrounding nutrition: [24]

Life expectancy

Life expectancy at birth in Montenegro

In 2018, the life expectancy at birth is 76.77. [26]  This varies for men and women, at 74.317 [5] and 79.199 [6] respectively. The current life expectancy is higher than the past several years. For example, in 2010 it was 75.151, and in 2000 it was 73.228. [26] There are various proposed reasons to account for the increase in life expectancy. Some studies have suggested that living in an urban centre results in a longer life, compared to those living rurally. [27] The rural population of Montenegro declined to 35.78% in 2016, compared to 81.21% in 1960. [28]

Over the past several years, mortality rates for both male and female adults has decreased. As of 2018, mortality rate for adult males (per 1000 adults) was 125.094, which has decreased as can be seen through comparing to 2010 when it was at 147.104. [29] As of 2018, mortality for adult females (per 1000 adults) was 65.97, which has also decreased when compared to 2010, when it was at 82.022. [30]

The current, 2020 mortality rate of infants in Montenegro is 2.586 deaths per 1000 live births.  This shows a 3.25% decline from 2019 when it was 2.673. [31] Infant mortality has been decreasing steadily over the past several years, demonstrated by a 3.15% decline between 2018 and 2019, and a 9.86% decline between 2018 and 2017. [31]

Health information for travellers

Vaccinations

Various vaccines are recommended for travellers to Montenegro. Hepatitis A and B are recommended for all travellers, if not previously vaccinated. Typhoid is recommended for those travellers who are likely to eat in places other than major food chains and hotels. [32] Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine is also recommended for those who have not already received 2 doses. Rabies is suggested for travellers who are at a high risk of animal contact (including dogs, bats, and other carnivores). In flu season, the influenza vaccination is also recommended. [33]

Health risks

COVID-19 is currently present in Montenegro and poses a health risk. [34]

Tick-borne encephalitis is a risk, particularly within forests, fields and country environments. In order to avoid tick bites, take precaution before and after visiting a forest, by checking the body for ticks and removing fully any ticks found as soon as possible. [34]

Avian flu has also occurred in the region. Although no human cases have been reported there is evidence of cases in poultry [33]

Healthcare

According to the Health Consumer Powerhouse the country has "the most backward health system in Europe". Public services are financed through the Health Insurance Fund. It is funded by payroll contributions of 10.5%. About 5% of the national budget is allocated to healthcare. Only €5 million was provided for all public hospital supplies in 2016, about a third of what was thought necessary. 72.5% of total health spending comes from the fund. Most of the rest is direct out-of-pocket payments.

The Ministry of Health in Montenegro guides a national health fund. Contributions of employer's and employee's entitles citizens to health care. This program covers most medical services, except from particular physicians. [35]

Funding and spending

Healthcare spending in Montenegro is roughly $578 per capita, Montenegro spent $365 million on healthcare in 2010. The majority of health care (two-thirds) is paid for through government expenditure, the remained is via household expenditures (30%) and other sources (3%). 14% of government spending goes to health (6% GDP) in 2010. [35]

Staffing

There are 199 doctors per 100,000 people and 554 nurses and midwives per 100,000 people in Montenegro. This is lower than the European average which has 325 and 554 doctors and nurses respectively per 100,000. They also have the lowest proportion of pharmacists per head in Europe – 17 per 100,000 in 2015. [36]

Facilities

Montenegro has 19 health centres, and 10 hospitals. Along with private physicians and dentists. [35] There are three specialist centres:

Lifestyle diseases can be defined as diseases linked with one's lifestyle. These diseases are non-communicable diseases. They are caused by lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating, alcohol, substance use disorders and smoking tobacco, which can lead to heart disease, stroke, obesity, type II diabetes and lung cancer. The diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialized and people live longer include Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, atherosclerosis, asthma, cancer, chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney failure, osteoporosis, PCOD, stroke, depression, obesity and vascular dementia.

Diseases of affluence, previously called diseases of rich people, is a term sometimes given to selected diseases and other health conditions which are commonly thought to be a result of increasing wealth in a society. Also referred to as the "Western disease" paradigm, these diseases are in contrast to so-called "diseases of poverty", which largely result from and contribute to human impoverishment. These diseases of affluence have vastly increased in prevalence since the end of World War II.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Epidemiological transition</span>

In demography and medical geography, epidemiological transition is a theory which "describes changing population patterns in terms of fertility, life expectancy, mortality, and leading causes of death." For example, a phase of development marked by a sudden increase in population growth rates brought by improved food security and innovations in public health and medicine, can be followed by a re-leveling of population growth due to subsequent declines in fertility rates. Such a transition can account for the replacement of infectious diseases by chronic diseases over time due to increased life span as a result of improved health care and disease prevention. This theory was originally posited by Abdel Omran in 1971.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Health in Tajikistan</span> Overview of health in Tajikistan

The Tajikistan health system is influenced by the former Soviet legacy. It is ranked as the poorest country within the WHO European region, including the lowest total health expenditure per capita. Tajikistan is ranked 129th as Human Development Index of 188 countries, with an Index of 0.627 in 2016. In 2016, the SDG Index value was 56. In Tajikistan health indicators such as infant and maternal mortality rates are among the highest of the former Soviet republics. In the post-Soviet era, life expectancy has decreased because of poor nutrition, polluted water supplies, and increased incidence of cholera, malaria, tuberculosis, and typhoid. Because the health care system has deteriorated badly and receives insufficient funding and because sanitation and water supply systems are in declining condition, Tajikistan has a high risk of epidemic disease.

Chronic, non-communicable diseases account for an estimated 80% of total deaths and 70% of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost in China. Cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are the leading causes of both death and of the burden of disease, and exposure to risk factors is high: more than 300 million men smoke cigarettes and 160 million adults are hypertensive, most of whom are not being treated. An obesity epidemic is imminent, with more than 20% of children aged 7–17 years in big cities now overweight or obese. Rates of death from chronic disease in middle-aged people are higher in China than in some high-income countries.

The healthcare system in Turkey has improved in terms of health status especially after implementing the Health Transformation Program (HP) in 2003. "Health for All" was the slogan for this transformation, and HP aimed to provide and finance health care efficiently, effectively, and equitably. By covering most of the population, the General Health Insurance Scheme is financed by employers, employees, and government contributions through the Social Security Institution. Even though HP aimed to be equitable, after 18 years of implementation, there are still disparities between the regions in Turkey.

Obesity has been observed throughout human history. Many early depictions of the human form in art and sculpture appear obese. However, it was not until the 20th century that obesity became common — so much so that, in 1997, the World Health Organization (WHO) formally recognized obesity as a global epidemic and estimated that the worldwide prevalence of obesity has nearly tripled since 1975. Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2, and in June 2013 the American Medical Association classified it as a disease.

Health in Malta has seen improvements in recent years, with one of the highest life expectancies in Europe. Malta has a good overall quality of health and has seen rapid growth and improvement in key health indicators. Malta has seen significant development in the practice of mental health which has been supported by new infrastructure and increased government health spending. The introduction of health-focused government initiatives, particularly around nutrition, alcohol, smoking, and health will likely contribute to the further improvement of overall health nationwide.

Brunei's healthcare system is managed by the Brunei Ministry of Health and funded by the General Treasury. It consists of around 15 health centers, ten clinics and 22 maternal facilities, considered to be of reasonable standard. There are also two private hospitals. Cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading cause of death in the country, with life expectancy around 75 years, a vast improvement from 1961. Brunei's human development index (HCI) improved from 0.81 in 2002 to 0.83 in 2021, expanding at an average annual rate of 0.14%. According to the UN's Human Development Report 2020, the HCI for girls in the country is greater than for boys, though aren't enough statistics in Brunei to break down HCI by socioeconomic classes. Brunei is the second country in Southeast Asia after Singapore to be rated 47th out of 189 nations on the UN HDI 2019 and has maintained its position in the Very High Human Development category.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Health in Norway</span> Overview of health in Norway

Health in Norway, with its early history of poverty and infectious diseases along with famines and epidemics, was poor for most of the population at least into the 1800s. The country eventually changed from a peasant society to an industrial one and established a public health system in 1860. Due to the high life expectancy at birth, the low under five mortality rate and the fertility rate in Norway, it is fair to say that the overall health status in the country is generally good.

Within the Pacific, Tonga is recognised to have some of the highest overall health standards, implementing a combination of preventative and immediate strategies to curb rates of communicable disease, child mortality and overall life expectancy. The Tongan government aims to continue such levels of health through achieving their Millennium Development Goals (MDG) detailing their focus on improving their healthcare system within the areas of maternal and infant health as well as improve access to immunisation, safe water and sanitation.
