NCDS ARE A GLOBAL CHALLENGE
NCDs, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, are already the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Those living with NCDs may be at greater risk of becoming severely ill with the novel coronavirus.
ADVANCING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Breaking new ground in the fight against NCDs requires innovative solutions and collaboration. Access Accelerated works to inform local and global health policies, accelerate investment in NCDs and advance strong partnerships. We are starting by exploring areas where we know can have the greatest impact: supply chain, digital health and primary care.
Strengthening Supply Chains
We’re working with our partners to fast track supply chain solutions that ensure people can access the treatments they need.
Screening for NCDs in Primary Care
Primary health care is a cornerstone of universal health coverage and crucial to the NCD response.
Leveraging Digital Health Innovations
Digital health solutions can empower communities and enhance the delivery of NCD services.
Year 3 Report
In our first three years, Access Accelerated has informed health policies, accelerated investment in health systems and advanced strong, cross-sector partnerships to improve access to NCD prevention, treatment and care. Today, as the world faces COVID-19, the needs of people living with NCDs have changed. Meaningful collaboration is needed more than ever to foster strong, resilient health systems that can respond to both infectious and chronic diseases.

A steadfast commitment to partnership and people is what inspired the launch of Access Accelerated in 2017, and what continues to motivate our work today. Together with partners, we are telling the stories of solutions that can scale so that more people can live healthier, more productive lives.
In a recent BBC and NCD Alliance mini-documentary series, Turning the Tide, Access Accelerated produced three films that showcase the work we are undertaking with partners in our three focus countries – Kenya, Ghana and Vietnam. The films explore how we implement innovative, scalable solutions, and most importantly, lift up the perspectives of people living with NCDs and health workers.
