  • Challenges and opportunities of integrating noncommunicable disease prevention into maternal health services

    Open AccessDoan Thi Thuy Duong, Nga T Q Pham et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Pregnancy provides an opportunity to assess women’s health needs and engage them in appropriate healthcare services. This study explored how noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevention has been integrated into maternal health services in Vietnam and identified the barriers and facilitators influencing this process. We conducted in-depth interviews with 30 stakeholders, including policymakers, health managers, and providers in maternal healthcare ser…

  • Health workforce implications of integrating NCD prevention, screening and treatment into hospital-based MNCH services

    Open AccessTéa Collins, Téa E Collins et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    Integration of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevention, screening and treatment into maternal, newborn and child healthcare (MNCH) services has become increasingly important as countries address the dual burden of communicable and NCDs. While global policy attention has grown, practical experiences from low- and middle-income countries on how to operationalise this integration, particularly its implications for the health workforce, remain li…

  • Multisectoral action to address noncommunicable diseases

    Open AccessSvetlana Akselrod, Téa Collins et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Multisectoral action is a central component of the global response to the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In this paper we aimed to unpack the definition of multisectoral action and provide an overview of the historical context, challenges, and recommendations alongside three country case studies: salt reduction in the UK, tobacco legislation in Nigeria, and regulation of edible oils in Iran. Methods: We used …

  • Integrating maternal, newborn, child health and non-communicable disease care in the sustainable development goal era

    Open AccessSvetlana Akselrod, Anshu Banerjee et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and maternal newborn and child health (MNCH) are two deeply intertwined health areas that have been artificially separated by global health policies, resource allocations and programming. Optimal MNCH care can provide a unique opportunity to screen for, prevent and manage early signs of NCDs developing in both the woman and the neonate. This paper considers how NCDs, NCD modifiable risk factors, and NCD metabolic r…

  • The impact of UN high-level meetings on non-communicable disease funding and policy implementation

    Open AccessSvetlana Akselrod, Téa Collins et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Since the original UN General Assembly ‘special session’ for HIV/AIDS, there has been a proliferation of health-related high-level meetings (HLMs), including three for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and a 2019 HLM on universal health coverage that was closely aligned to the NCD framework. This paper attempts to assess the impact of these meetings in terms of funding allocations, domestic NCD policy implementation, as well as the level of intern…

  • Unleashing implementation research to accelerate national noncommunicable disease responses

    Open AccessTéa Collins, Svetlana Akselrod et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2022

    Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. They exact a disproportionate toll in low and middle-income countries, and the world is not on-track to meet international targets for reductions in premature NCD mortality. Largely, we know which policies work for tackling NCDs, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a package of ‘best buy’ policies that are highly cost effective. However, we …

  • Addressing NCDs

    Open AccessTéa Collins, Bente Mikkelsen et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2017

    Despite the mounting evidence that they impede social and economic development, increase inequalities, and perpetuate poverty, Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) remain largely absent from the agendas of major development assistance initiatives. In addition, fundamental changes are developing in patterns of development assistance for health, and more of the burden for fighting NCDs is being placed on domestic budgets, thus increasing pressure on the…

  • Strengthening health systems in low-income countries by enhancing organizational capacities and improving institutions

    Open AccessRobert Swanson, Robert Chad Swanson et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2015

    BACKGROUND: This paper argues that the global health agenda tends to privilege short-term global interests at the expense of long-term capacity building within national and community health systems. The Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) movement needs to focus on developing the capacity of local organizations and the institutions that influence how such organizations interact with local and international stakeholders. DISCUSSION: While instituti…
