The federal government has implemented several strategies to reduce mortality caused by chronic non-communicable diseases (
CNTD
). One example is the development of medical units specialized in the care of
CNTD
(i.e. overweight, obesity, cardiovascular risk and
diabetes
), named UNEMES (from its Spanish initials). These units--consisting of an ad-hoc, trained, multi-disciplinary team--will provide patient education, help in the resolution of obstacles limiting treatment adherence, and involve the family in patient care. Treatment will be provided using standardized protocols. The efficacy of the intervention will be regularly measured using pre-specified outcomes. We expect that these UNEMES will result in significant savings. In summary, our health care system is developing better treatment strategies for
CNTD
. Evaluating the performance of the UNEMES will generate valuable information for the design of future preventive actions.
