Abstract
Background: To deal with the rising prevalence and death rate of non-communicable diseases, the WHO designed a package of essential interventions for non-communicable diseases for low- and middle-income countries. This review aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators of the implementation of this program.
Methods: The electronic databases of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scientific Information Database (SID) were searched for papers without a time limit at the end of Dec 2020. Only English and Persian languages were considered. The PRISMA guideline was consulted.
Results: Overall, 15 articles were selected for the final analysis out of 404 initially retrieved ones, based on inclusion/exclusion criteria and quality assessment. Thirteen articles had good quality, while 2 articles were of fair quality. Studies were published during 2014-2020. Thematic analysis was used to make sense of papers so that barriers and facilitators were categorized within 2 main themes and 7 sub-themes. Certain organizational factors including human resources, service delivery, structure, leadership/governance, data and information, resources, and financing were identified as barriers and facilitators. Knowledge and culture, and economic and social factors were identified as contextual factors.
Conclusion: By considering the factors identified in this study, policymakers and health system managers can be more successful in implementing this WHO PEN and similar packages.

Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
