Five million people die every year from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally. In Tanzania, more than two-thirds of deaths are NCD-related. The country is investing in preventive and advocacy activities as well as interventions to reduce the burden. Of particular interest, the Ministry of Health (MoH) commemorates NCDs’ week using a multisectoral and multi-stakeholders’ approach. This paper highlights activities conducted during NCDs week with the aim of sharing lessons for other countries with similar context and burdens.
