Description

Delivering comprehensive prevention, treatment and care for NCDs across a person’s life-course requires strong and integrated health systems. This paper aims to explore current health system challenges to achieving this and present examples of what has been done to overcome these challenges.

This summary report is part of a case-study series exploring the importance of strong health systems for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.4 to reduce premature mortality from NCDs by one-third by 2030.

We invite you to explore the different case studies focussing on NCDs in humanitarian settings, NCDs and primary healthcare in Ethiopia and NCD and HIV care.
