Long, full, healthy lives: Delivering on the commitment to integrated NCD care for people living with HIV by 2025

This report is timely and complements the NCD Alliance’s September 2021 report ‘From Siloes to Synergies’1 that provides a strong rationale for integrating NCDs into global health initiatives. This new publication follows on from the adoption – for the first time - of a specific government commitment to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and HIV integration at the June 2021 United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) High-Level Meeting on AIDS.

In the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS,2 Member States pledged, among other things, full coverage of NCD services for 90% of people living with, at risk of, and affected by HIV by 2025.

The report considers how the COVID-19 response and existing strategies for the integration of HIV services into primary health care (PHC) can provide tangible options for the scale-up of NCD/HIV integration that responds to and meets the needs of PLHIV and NCDs. This paves the way towards achieving the 90% target included in the June 2021 Political Declaration.
