This new FPH SIG is concerned with the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in low and middle-income countries and with exploring the systems' strengthening issues linked to the growing incidence of NCDs in different contexts. The NCD SIG aims to promote linkages within the public health community and across the FPH around prevention and inequality, taking a multi-sectoral approach to the prevention of NCDs.
The SIG will hold a launch meeting early in 2024. Further details on this will follow in due course – please check the FPH Events webpage for updates.
The SIG co-chairs are Jayshree Bagaria and Allison Beattie. They can be contacted at fph.lmic.sig@gmail.com.
