NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES ALLIANCE OF KENYA

The NCD Alliance Kenya (NCDAK) seeks to comprehensively and sustainably address the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Kenya and other parts of the world by acting as a coordinating and strengthening body for comprehensive and synergistic national action on NCDs. NCDAK responds to the global call by The NCD Alliance for individuals, associations, professional bodies and institutions to form a consortium to address NCDs such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, cancers, chronic lung diseases, sickle cell, epilepsy, mental health among others. These diseases are propagated by common risk factors such as inappropriate diets with excessive food additives, sedentary lifestyle, tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol and exposure to environmental toxins including air pollution.
