Abstract

This paper proposes a model that quantifies the economic burden of a particular disease as the difference in GDP between two scenarios: a counter-factual scenario in which the disease is eliminated from the beginning of the time period, and a status quo scenario with the presence of the disease. It proposes a framework for the analysis of the macroeconomic impact of noncommunicable diseases (NCD) and applies the methodology to the context of Senegal. Total losses associated with non-communicable diseases over the period 2015-2035 are projected to amount to US$ 23 billion.
