Together, One Voice / Health For All

INCDA aims to improve public awareness about NCDs in general, and increase the participation from government institutions and international organisations to take effective measures to reduce the burden, morbidity and mortality of NCDs.NCDs are the main cause of death and disability around the world. In fact, the health challenge of the current century is noncommunicable diseases. That is why all the stakeholders including civil society should do their best to reduce the burden of NCDs. For this reason, INCDA was created by 48 NGOs that work in different NCD-related areas in Iran with the purpose of to coordinate health-related actions in our country.
