Partnership with WHO Europe targets NCDs in central Asia

A new partnership with WHO/ Europe will improve access for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in primary care in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The main beneficiaries will be people with diabetes and their families and carers, particularly those of a lower socio-economic status.
The three-year project, Improving access for prevention and control of NCDs in Primary Care in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, is supported by a 900.000 USD grant from the World Diabetes Foundation.
