This report is timely and complements the NCD Alliance’s September 2021 report ‘From Siloes to Synergies’1 that provides a strong rationale for integrating NCDs into global health initiatives. This new publication follows on from the adoption – for the first time - of a specific government commitment to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and HIV integration at the June 2021 United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) High-Level Meeting on AIDS.

In the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS,2 Member States pledged, among other things, full coverage of NCD services for 90% of people living with, at risk of, and affected by HIV by 2025.

The report considers how the COVID-19 response and existing strategies for the integration of HIV services into primary health care (PHC) can provide tangible options for the scale-up of NCD/HIV integration that responds to and meets the needs of PLHIV and NCDs. This paves the way towards achieving the 90% target included in the June 2021 Political Declaration.
