Fortunately where I was working, we prioritized patients who had COVID-19 to provide the best effective treatment. The change that will occur once COVID-19 has calm down will be that we will be seeing more patients with NCD that may have not been managed so well during the period of COVID-19 waves.	1	3.8%
Hospitals units gradually had less covid cases in the units, at a point only 1 funcioning COVID unit. Leaving other units to focus on new covid patients with medical needs.	1	3.8%
I am, based in a primary healths setting,NCD services were never stopped, the facility I am based at closed and redirected to the nearest facility in the first and second wave as the facility was used as a quarantine centre for covid 19 patients with no or mild symptoms, after the second wave there were no quarantine patients so then routine care continued.	1	3.8%
More clinics were opened to cater for the increased number of patients.	1	3.8%
