Dear Colleagues and Partners,

I am pleased to announce the launch of the WHO Regional Office for Africa Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) quarterly bulletin.

This is a momentous occasion for our team and a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to combat the growing burden of NCDs in Africa.This bulletin represents our commitment to sharing vital information, best practices, and the latest developments in NCD prevention and control. We believe that access to timely and accurate information is crucial in strengthening our collective response to NCDs. In this issue, you'll find updates on our activities in the region, best practices from countries, and insights from NCD experts, designed to empower healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the public.

We envision this bulletin as a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing. We encourage you to engage with the content, share it with your networks, and provide us with your valuable feedback. Your input will be instrumental in shaping future editions and ensuring that the bulletin remains a relevant and impactful tool.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of people affected by NCDs.
