MOBILIZING THE HIV COMMUNITY: Global Health NGOs in the NCD Response 30 August 2012 !
Satellite Session on July 22, 2012 organized by the Task Force on Women and NCDs PAGE 2 !
Key Messages from the Task Force Satellite Session ! Access to treatment for NCDs is a human rights issue – Access to treatment requires a solid base of prevention as well as screening programs ! Prevention, screening and treatment of NCDs require a strong health system ! The response to NCDs requires global and regional action; building a responsive health system requires a national response ! Approach to NCDs must be multi-sectoral including health care providers, donors, NGOs, ministries and private sector ! Services on the ground need to be integrated, while ensuring equity and accessibility along with high quality of services PAGE 3 !
Recognition in the HIV Community and Challenges moving forward ! – Up from 10 abstracts two years ago. ! Comprehensive coverage of AIDS-related cancers, including cervical cancer, liver cancer and lymphoma. ! Increasing body of scientific literature and evidence for why people living with HIV/AIDS are vulnerable to NCDs. – Links to HIV disease – Links to long-term treatment with antiretroviral therapy ! HIV treatment programs bringing more people in LMICs into the health system – How do we ensure their NCDs are identified and treated? ! Challenges in integrating programs due to resource allocation, limited funds and nascent chronic care integration programs. PAGE 5 !
Why this is important ! Global health organizations makes strategic and programmatic decisions based on burden of disease ! The response must include the private sector as public sector resources may be over-burdened by the increase of patients with NCDs including cancers. ! Implementing NGOs are well placed to leverage existing resources and have experience responding at scale. PAGE 7 !
