Ghana has lifted the cap on the National Health Insurance Levy (NHIL), boosting domestic health funding—especially for NCDs. Championed by the GhNCDA, this aims to lower out-of-pocket expenses, address NCD care gaps, and support equitable health financing.

NCDA Policy and Advocacy Director Alison Cox analyses new UN Secretary General report confirming the world is off track in preventing and controlling NCDs.

Marijke Kremin, NCDA's Policy & Advocacy Manager, reflects on the International Dialogue on Sustainable Financing for NCDs and Mental Health in this blog, covering the achievements, challenges and future of a much-anticipated meeting. 

This week marks the four-month countdown to 2024’s Global Week for Action on NCDs and the Global NCD Alliance Forum – which happens to fall on the same days of a pivotal global dialogue on NCD financing. 

The International Dialogue on Sustainable Financing for NCDs and Mental Health is a high-level technical meeting convened to explore approaches on how to include NCDs and mental health responses within national health and financing plans.
