The Global NCD Alliance is here

Coronavirus has grabbed everyone’s attention, and for cause. Industries are shut down, communities are isolated, and events and gatherings have been brought to a halt. Although we are all affected by the consequences of this pandemic, certain groups appear to be particularly vulnerable.

Stories of COVID-19, global health, and chronic conditions are intrinsically linked.ÌýPeople living with NCDs, such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory chronic diseases, are more at risk of severe complications from the disease. This is why the GNCDAÌýteam is present, now more than ever. We will continue to share resources throughout this evolving health crisis. To learn. To inform. To be inspired. So we can get through this, together.

If you have personal stories, articles, or any content related to Global NCDs and COVID-19, we want to hear from you! Please contact us at: globalncd [at] mcgill.ca
