Ghana has lifted the cap on the National Health Insurance Levy (NHIL), boosting domestic health funding—especially for NCDs. Championed by the GhNCDA, this aims to lower out-of-pocket expenses, address NCD care gaps, and support equitable health financing.

India has the world’s largest health insurance scheme, launched in September 2018. Despite this important step, the achievement of health equity is a way away and calls for concerted action.

In an era where health disparities remain a critical challenge globally, the latest NCD Equity Report from Kenya emerges as a beacon of hope and action.

The NCD Alliance is pleased to announce a new partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim to advance health systems strengthening with a focus on equitable access care for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).

Equity and human rights have long driven the NCD agenda and NCDA’s mandate. However, significant disparities remain in how the NCD response is delivered and how it affects health outcomes.

In this new episode of the Voices of the Health Revolution podcast, Dr Monika Arora, President of NCDA, meets global diabetes advocate Snehal Nandagawli to discuss leadership for NCD equity.
