Resources: Chronic Disease Management

IPCRG supporter of the NCD Alliance
The NCD Alliance aims to put chronic disease/non-communicable disease on the global agenda. The IPCRG has joined the alliance as part of our campaign for chronic lung disease, stop smoking and the role of primary care to be taken seriously by national governments and funding agencies.

Left: NCDs are a major cause of poverty and an urgent development issue. There are eight million premature deaths each year from the major NCD risk factors, often leaving families with no means of support.
