Globally, millions of people living with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially those in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), face an unacceptable reality: the care they need remains out of reach.
Transforming NCD care in LMICs requires more than good intentions and political declarations. It demands cross-sector collaborations with sustainable financing models that build resilient, locally-led solutions.
Our Global Health Unit believes partnerships are at the heart of this effort. Ministries of Health, Finance, Economic Development as well as NGOs, multilateral institutions, the private sector, and communities each play a critical role, bringing unique skills and expertise to address this challenge.
Working together, we can co-create approaches that are innovative, equitable, and sustainable. This means supporting integrated care initiatives, expanding access to quality medicines, and building holistic care models that last.
Progress is possible, and together, we can accelerate it.
