The NCD, Health Promotion and Research Unit (NCDHPRU) was set up at a time when the Ministry of Health and Wellness felt that there was an urgent need for a unit to look into the rising problems of non-communicable diseases and also to help in the communicable diseases programme. Thus, the unit was entrusted with the mission to organise, coordinate and execute health intervention programmes pertaining to prevention and control of NCDs as well as to improve quality of life and well-being of the population through promotion of health.
Moreover, the Unit was assigned with the mobilizing of the community in the prevention of non-communicable diseases and its associated risks, conducting research projects\/surveys, organising Health International Events and in formulating strategies against emerging infectious disease. Hence, the Unit is day by day assuming additional responsibilities and becoming increasingly important as it is acting as a catalyst in the development of community health, health promotion and in the prevention of communicable disease.
This Unit is divided into seven main pillars namely:<\/p>

  1. Early Detection and Screening of NCDs and Health Promotion<\/li>
  2. Promotion Of Physical Activities<\/li>
  3. Prevention Of Emerging Infectious Diseases<\/li>
  4. Sensitization\/Health Education Campaigns<\/li>
  5. Events, Workshop and Training<\/li>
  6. Surveys<\/li>
  7. Research And Publications<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
