DPC Non Communicable Diseases Bulletin - Issue 2: Fighting NCDs, Saving Lives in Africa

Dear Colleagues and Partners,

As we approach the second half of the year and the upcoming United Nations High-Level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs), African nations continue to demonstrate a proactive and positive approach to these pervasive health challenges.

The World Health Organization (WHO) African Region remains steadfast in its commitment to addressing NCDs. Despite uncertainties surrounding funding and the emergence of new NCD-related health challenges, countries are diligently reassessing and enhancing their healthcare system capacities. This ongoing effort reflects a strong dedication to improving health outcomes across the region.
