Leveraging the national advocacy agenda to accelerate progress on NCDs
The Healthy India Alliance launched the national advocacy agenda at their 3rd annual national civil society consultation on NCDs. This was an opportunity to raise the profile of the advocacy agenda and galvanise all NCD stakeholders to amplify the priority ‘asks’ of people living with NCDs.

Launch of the India Advocacy Agenda of People Living with NCDs
The development of India’s advocacy agenda resulted in the formation of regional networks and a national network of people living with NCDs. The alliance is working collaboratively with these networks, to strengthen and guide their work to accelerate a person-centered NCD response in India.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Healthy India Alliance has amplified the specific concerns and asks of people living with NCDs, including submitting a statement on their needs to India’s Ministry of Health.
