  • Research priorities for cardiometabolic syndrome in humanitarian settings

    Open AccessChaza Akik, Lilian Kiapi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Migration and Health2025References: 2

    Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. The burden of NCDs largely falls on low- and middle- income countries, where the majority of humanitarian crises fall. Already fragile health care systems in acute and protracted crisis settings struggle to meet the increasing needs of people living with NCDs. Cardio-Metabolic Syndrome (CMS), in particular, is of growing concern, with little evidence on effect…

  • Lessons learned from implementing the Non-Communicable Diseases Kit in a humanitarian emergency

Availability of medicines from alternative sources made some of the NCDK medicines redundant or unnecessary for some health facilities. Several learnings were identified in this assessment, highlighting …

  • Adaptation of care for non-communicable diseases during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessLaura Miller, Ahmad Hecham Alani et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    People living with non-communicable diseases (PLWNCDs) are at greater risk of severe COVID-19 illness. This case study highlights the adaptations that were made to humanitarian health programmes in five countries to reduce exposure risk for PLWNCDs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Common adaptations included facility-level administrative and engineering controls, improved triaging, change in prescribing practices, decrease in frequency of stable pat…

  • Assessment of the non-communicable diseases kit for humanitarian emergencies in Yemen and Libya

    Open AccessLilian Kiapi, Ahmad Hecham Alani et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Emergency health kits are a vital way of providing essential medicines and supplies to health clinics during humanitarian crises. The WHO non-communicable diseases (NDCs) kit was developed 5 years ago, recognising the increasing challenge of providing continuity of care and secondary prevention of NCDs and exacerbations, in such settings. Monitoring and evaluation of emergency health kits is an important process to ensure the contents are fit for…
