About

NCD Action is a global network of emerging leaders who drive non-communicable disease (NCD) policy, research, capacity building, and social change.

We believe NCDs – including cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, and diabetes – are fundamental matters of social and economic justice and they present significant challenges for the global health community.

By harnessing the talents and energies of the next generation of health leaders, NCD Action is building a movement – part social, part technical – that is rooted in the evidence, experience, and insights of our members across the globe.

Our platforms

Recognizing the diverse needs, interests, and goals of our members, NCD Action provides several platforms for members to engage in:

Informing policy change and driving research

The Young Professionals Chronic Disease Network is a global professional network that promotes research, policy, and advocacy targeting NCDs.

Driving social change and inspiring action

NCD Action is a grass-roots movement of young people, students, and concerned citizens taking local and global action on NCDs.

Building local communities

The 3T project – monthly gatherings throughout the world – connects the experiences and ideas of local communities with the wider global network, harnessing a powerful local-to-global model for action.

Join our movement

NCD Action provides an opportunity to have a real and tangible impact on health and quality of life for individuals, families, and communities around the world. Getting involved is easy – just sign up (it’s free) to any of our platforms and tell us how you think the global NCD discourse needs to change.
