International Webinar: Strengthening Noncommunicable Disease Prevention & Management in Humanitarian Settings - Reviewing the Cox's Bazar approach

14 September 2021 14:30 – 16:30 Bangladesh Time
Virtual (via Zoom),

Addressing the burden of Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) among refugees and migrants remains a major challenge in humanitarian settings. Since the onset of the Rohingya refugee crisis in 2017, WHO is supporting Government health authorities and humanitarian partners to better integrate NCD services in primary health care of refugee camps and immediate host communities, and thus prevent premature deaths among the refugee population.

Various efforts to support the NCD response have taken place through coordination, capacity building, health education, provision of emergency medicines and supplies, and monitoring/supportive supervision, which have continued despite the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This international webinar seeks to discuss the NCD programme in the Rohingya refugee camps, highlighting collaborative efforts with partners to deliver care and reflecting practical lessons from its implementation.
