TL;DR: Given the high disease burden caused by hypertension in LMICs, nationally representative hypertension care cascades, as constructed in this study, are an important measure of progress towards achieving universal health coverage.

TL;DR: Health system performance for management of diabetes showed large losses to care at the stage of being tested, and low rates of diabetes control along the care cascade, indicating large unmet need for diabetes care across 28 LMICs.

TL;DR: The proportion of adults with diabetes in LMICs who receive coverage of recommended pharmacological and non-pharmacological diabetes treatment and country-level and individual-level characteristics that are associated with treatment are estimated to be fewer than one in ten.

TL;DR: There was large variation in the self-reported lifetime prevalence of cervical cancer screening among countries within regions and among countries with similar levels of per capita gross domestic product and total health expenditure.

TL;DR: LMICs included in this analysis may be at an advanced stage in the nutrition transition but with no reversal in the socioeconomic gradient of diabetes risk, in contrast to the association seen in high-income countries.
