Health workforce implications of integrating NCD prevention, screening and treatment into hospital-based MNCH services
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
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 …
WHO framework on meaningful engagement
As the global public health community continues to reflect and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), and mental health and neurological conditions remains one of the largest unmet gaps in progress towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). People living with these health conditions, particularly among those most marginalized, acutely understand the impact of these failures in global action and investme…
Integrating maternal, newborn, child health and non-communicable disease care in the sustainable development goal era
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
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
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 …
