In 2002, the World Health Organization (WHO) described chronic conditions as the challenge of the 21st century for health systems worldwide and urged countries to change the reactive approach of their health systems, originally designed to cure acute illness, to a proactive approach that integrates prevention, cure and care of chronic conditions [1].
