This final report is the outcome of the Working Group convened by the WHO Global Coordination Mechanism on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (GCM/NCD) to recommend ways and means of encouraging Member States and non-State actors to promote the inclusion of the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases within responses to HIV/AIDS and programmes for sexual and reproductive health and maternal and child health; within responses to other communicable disease programmes, such as tuberculosis; and as part of wider efforts to strengthen and orient health systems to address the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases through people-centred primary health care and universal health coverage.
