Together for a Healthier Somalia

The Somalia NCD Alliance (SNCDA) is a national network of organizations committed to reducing the burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Somalia. We bring together healthcare professionals, civil society, academic institutions, and policy influencers to drive awareness, advocacy, prevention, and policy change.
