The emergence of long COVID has important implications for people living with or at risk of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), in addition to the direct impacts of the pandemic on people living with NCDs which include the acute illness and disruptions of essential NCD care. This briefing note is for policymakers and provides key messages on Long-COVID based on data available as of April 2021. The NCD Alliance acknowledges that the evidence base for long COVID is still rapidly developing and intends this briefing note to be a living document to be updated as necessary.
In 2020, the NCD Alliance (NCDA) commissioned Global Health Visions (GHV) to undertake an independent evaluation of NCDA’s efforts to achieve its aims and objectives as set out in its 2016–2020 Strategic Plan, and to provide strategic and organisational recommendations to inform NCDA’s strategic planning process for 2021–2026. This document presents the NCDA Board’s response to the GHV independent evaluation recommendations, including decisions on next steps and timelines.
Global Health Visions (GHV) was commissioned by the NCD Alliance to carry out an independent, external review of our efforts to achieve our aims and objectives as set out in its 2016–2020 Strategic Plan, and to provide strategic and organisational recommendations to inform the strategic planning process for 2021–2026. GHV’s review sought to gather diverse perspectives on the NCD Alliance’s organisational development, overall impact, most remarkable achievements, and key challenges or missed opportunities over the past five years.
The NCD Alliance is pleased to announce the launch of our 2021-2026 Strategy, which is built upon four pathways of action: advocacy and accountability, capacity development, knowledge and partnerships.
For the NCD Alliance, 2020 has been a year dominated by COVID-19, requiring us to adapt organisationally, strategically and financially to the global pandemic and the virtual way of working. NCDA successfully pivoted many of our main functions to virtual platforms, including capacity development training programmes, high-level advocacy events, and media briefings for journalists.
This webinar brought experts together to discuss the challenges with the deployment of the COVID-19 vaccines, and potential strategies to advance Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and Primary Health Care (PHC).
Diabetes and hypertension for example commonly occur together, and both are linked to a wide range of other NCDs, due to complications or being triggered by the same risk factors. This policy brief, therefore, makes the case for simultaneous action for both conditions as an opportunity for decision-makers to achieve an exponential positive impact on wellbeing, health systems strengthening and sustainable development.
