Felipe is the administrator of a small hospital in Nigeria that provides urgent care services for communicable diseases, as well as labor and delivery for complicated pregnancies. The hospital has extremely limited resources and struggles to meet the community’s needs in these areas. Felipe is very concerned because he has watched over the last 20 years as the hospital has had to address an overwhelming increase in the consequences of neglected noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including heart attacks and strokes, as well as amputations from diabetes. In this scenario, what is a likely major impact of the increase in neglected NCDs on Felipe’s hospital? a.) Increased risk of patients with NCDs being exposed to communicable diseases from other patients b.) Higher rates of presenteeism in health care workers as they have to attend to conditions that they are not trained to address c.) Inadequate resources as pregnant women no longer choose to use Felipe’s hospital d.) Inadequate resources to attend to urgent infectious diseases and pregnancy complications
