Research Methodology

This report draws on three main streams of research: extensive desk research; a programme of in-depth interviews with 16 healthcare experts; and a survey of 490 NCD patients—or, in a small minority of cases, their primary carers—in 10 SSA countries, with a minimum of 36 respondents in each country. The countries, representing different parts of the region and varied levels of development, are: Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The numbers from each country are roughly even, with between 40 and 55 in eight of the countries, 36 in Kenya and 64 in South Africa.
