As a result of these characteristic, there is need to contain them and ensure they do not affect the people. Chronic illnesses are usually associated with age. This means that the older generation is most likely affected by these diseases. They tend also to be very costly in terms of their management and not just on a personal level but also affects the country and employers as well. In the coming up with means of controlling them, there is need for the government, employers and people to come together and work out on a means of eradicating the diseases.
