Championing Health Equity
Across Somalia
Leading the fight against non-communicable diseases through advocacy, prevention, and community empowerment in Somalia
The Somalia NCD Alliance (SNCDA) is a national network of organizations committed to reducing the burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Somalia. Established in December 2024, SNCDA brings together healthcare professionals, civil society, academic institutions, and policy influencers to drive awareness, advocacy, prevention, and policy change related to NCDs such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health conditions.
What sets us apart is our collaborative approach to tackling the NCD epidemic. Through strategic partnerships with healthcare professionals, government agencies, and international organizations, we create comprehensive solutions that address cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, chronic lung diseases, and mental health conditions at both grassroots and policy levels.
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to ensure no Somali suffers from preventable NCDs due to lack of awareness, access, or advocacy. Today, we operate across all federal member states, having trained over 200 health workers and directly impacted thousands of lives through evidence-based interventions and community empowerment programs.
