Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading killers worldwide, responsible for 7 out of every 10 deaths, with 70% of these fatalities occurring in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
The "Non-Communicable Diseases for Public Health" course, developed by Ogweno Stephen, is a comprehensive, CPD-accredited program recognized by the Nursing Council of Kenya—equivalent to one semester of undergraduate study in Public Health.
This course is designed to empower community health workers, educators, students, and parents to understand, prevent, and control NCDs through evidence-based strategies and innovative digital health solutions.

In addition to interactive lessons, you’ll have access to cutting-edge research papers and supplementary content that deepen your understanding of NCDs within the public health context.
By joining this course, you’ll gain vital insights into the epidemiology of NCDs, digital health interventions, and effective policy strategies that can transform communities and drive sustainable change.
