The NCD Synergies project brings together experts with the technical skills and meaningful experience to support and broaden the reach of NCD initiatives in low-income countries around the world. We need researchers, clinicians, planners, and policy makers to get involved.
There are many ways for our colleagues and supporters, at all levels, to engage in this valuable work:
- Learn – Explore our resource database, participate in NCD-related events, and follow expert discussion through our online webinars and knowledge exchanges.
- Participate – The NCD Synergies community seeks collaborators looking to contribute findings and resources to help us tell the story of NCD leadership in low-resource settings.
- Partner – To discuss other ways to partner with NCD Synergies, contact us directly.
By building a community of practitioners with experience serving poor populations living with NCDs and injuries, NCD Synergies is working to expand the conversation around noncommunicable diseases to include treating the chronic illnesses of the very poor. Through our work, NCD Synergies builds partnerships with organizations and countries that will strengthen the public health sector in low-income countries.
