Introduction

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases are the leading causes of global mortality, accounting for over 70% of deaths worldwide. Global Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) Training Course is designed to equip healthcare professionals, public health practitioners, policymakers, and researchers with advanced competencies in NCD prevention, control, surveillance, and integrated health system response. The course aligns with WHO Global Action Plan for NCDs, Universal Health Coverage (UHC), and SDG 3.4, focusing on reducing premature mortality through evidence-based interventions and innovative public health strategies.

With the rise of digital health, AI-driven epidemiology, population health analytics, and lifestyle risk factor surveillance, this training integrates modern tools with classical public health frameworks. Participants will gain practical knowledge in risk factor management (tobacco, alcohol, obesity, physical inactivity), health promotion, early detection, and community-based interventions. The program emphasizes a multi-sectoral approach, strengthening health systems to address the growing global burden of NCDs through prevention, policy, and innovation.
