BACKGROUND :

This afternoon event will see the hard copy launch of the book titled: Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) Prevention: Best Buys, Wasted Buys, and Contestable Buys, commissioned by PMAC. Following the 10th anniversary of PMAC, the organizers sought to commission knowledge products in recognition of the work of the late prince and to preserve the legacy of PMAC. Noncommunicable Disease Prevention: Best Buys, Wasted Buys, and Contestable Buys is one of the first pieces of work commissioned by PMAC. It is a thinking aid to achieve the best value for money in NCD prevention and it seeks to help program managers, operating in low- and middle-income countries, assess and implement interventions for NCD prevention.
