NCDA Network
Civil society organisations from across the Western Pacific convened in Manila (Philippines) to launch the Healthy Western Pacific Alliance (HWPA), a regional platform aimed at strengthening collaboration to accelerate collective action to prevent and control NCDs and mental health conditions in the Western Pacific.
With smart investments, strong leadership, and people-centred policies, we can reduce preventable deaths, strengthen health systems, and create healthier, fairer societies.
Noncommunicable diseases — including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, mental health and respiratory conditions, as well as kidney, musculoskeletal, oral, eye and ear conditions, and many others — are the world’s leading causes of death and disability. But most are preventable or manageable.
Discover the evidence-based policy solutions that work, and how bold policies, smarter investment, and community leadership can save millions of lives.
Our network unites civil society, advocates, and people living with NCDs across diseases, risk factors, and geographies. We work with partners at every level — from local champions to global institutions — united by a vision of a healthier, more equitable world. Together, we drive change through bold advocacy, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to equity.
“Living with chronic kidney disease has made me realise that advocacy isn’t just about policy – it’s about saving lives. Together, we can build systems that don’t leave people behind.”
