NCDs New WHO/Europe Report the power of implementation research in improving policies to tackle

WHO Regional Office for Europe posted on LinkedIn:

“New WHO/Europe Report highlights the power of implementation research (IR) in improving policies to tackle noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)

IR provides insights into how best practices can be applied effectively in real-world settings, helping countries overcome challenges in combating NCDs like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

By engaging stakeholders, building resources, and fostering collaboration across sectors, IR paves the way for stronger, more impactful interventions.

Discover how IR can help governments bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring better health outcomes for all and driving progress towards the SDGs and other global targets.”

Kremlin Wickramasinghe, Regional Advisor at WHO, shared this post adding:

“This new report shares the experience from two countries on how to build the capacity for NCDs implementation research. Despite having evidence and WHO best buys, the burden of NCDs and their risk factors remain very high. Implementation research is a useful tool to bring relevant stakeholders around the table and identify practical steps to achieve the impact. How can we build a culture of practitioners and researchers working together at national level to support NCD policy implementation ?
Congratulations to the multisectoral teams for completing these research projects in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.”
