Population Health Approach for Multiple Chronic Conditions
Problem of Multiple Chronic Conditions may not be addressed in the Current Disease
Activities
The issue of the multiple chronic situations may not be adequately addressed in the
current disease activities because individuals are not keenly following the proposed living

which leads to making poor decisions concerning their health. Thus, the collective poor health
