Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The goal of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) non-communicable diseases (NCD) project (PEPFAR-NCD), a collaboration between PEPFAR implementing partners, is to articulate research priorities that incorporate prevention, care and treatment for non-communicable diseases into HIV/AIDS platforms in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The PEPFAR-NCD project focuses on people living with HIV (PLWH), many of whom are being treated successfully for HIV, but who are increasingly experiencing co-morbid diseases or conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and depression. This project has produce landscape analyses and is establishing research agendas, priorities, and products, including modeled data, to enhance NCD services through PEPFAR platforms. |
