Dynamics of care seeking and service delivery. Arrows in the figure refer to causal connections between variables, as perceived and described by workshop participants. Where arrows indicate a polarity (+/−), this implies positive or negative associations between variables respectively. For example, the + arrow from “Quality of services” to “Continuity of care and follow-up” indicates that participants link higher quality of care to higher likelihood that a patient would be followed up and receive continuous care for their NCD. Where polarities are missing from arrows, participants described that variables related to one another but noted that it was not possible to infer either a positive or negative relationship. Colour is used in the above diagram to indicate the presence of feedback loops. Three loops - depicted as L1-3 (dark red – Loop 1, green – Loop 2, orange – Loop 3) are visible in the diagram and are further explained in the body of the paper. Variables in red denote points of fragility as identified by participants
