Inaugural Global NCD Alliance Forum to be held in sub-Saharan Africa gets underway amidst global health turbulence
A perfect storm: noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are set to overtake infectious, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional (CMNN) diseases combined as the leading cause of mortality in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030. The Global NCD Alliance Forum will look at solutions to reduce preventable deaths and disability from NCDs and improve access to quality healthcare.
