Philippine Advocacy Agenda of People Living with NCDs

The Philippine Advocacy Agenda of People Living with NCDs is a community-driven advocacy resource that ensures the perspectives and priorities of Filipinos living with NCDs shape national health policies and programs. 

Developed through consultations with 850 individuals, including focus group discussions and a nationwide survey, the Agenda reflects real-life experiences and aspirations. Led by an Advisory Group of eight people living with NCDs and supported by the Healthy Philippines Alliance, the Agenda highlights four key areas: Human Rights and Social Justice; Treatment, Care, and Support; Prevention; and Meaningful Involvement. This tool serves as a guide for policymakers, healthcare institutions, and stakeholders to enhance the role of people with NCDs in shaping a more inclusive and effective healthcare system in the Philippines.
