Integrated Solutions For NCD

Integrated Solutions for NCD Uganda (ISO-NCD) is a registered community-based organization dedicated to addressing the growing burden of non-communicable diseases in Uganda. Established in response to the increasing cases of hypertension, diabetes, mental health disorders, and cancers, ISO-NCD works to strengthen local capacity for prevention, early detection, and continuous care through innovative, community-driven approaches.

Our Core Values

Equity

We ensure everyone has fair access to NCD prevention, care, and support, regardless of background or location.

Patient-Centered Care

We prioritize the needs, dignity, and voices of people living with NCDs in every program we design.

Community-Driven

We empower communities to lead, own, and sustain the fight against NCDs through local action and innovation.

Our Mission

We envision communities where everyone has fair and affordable access to quality NCD prevention, care, and mental health services—reducing preventable illness, minimizing complications, and empowering people to live healthier, longer, and more productive lives.

Our Objectives

• To establish Noncommunicable disease (NCD) community care hubs and wellness clinics that provide comprehensive, patient-centered services—integrating NCD prevention and management with mental health, sexual and reproductive health, HIV, TB and Maternal health.

• To equip health workers, Village Health Teams, peers, and NCD survivors with the skills and tools to deliver multi-disease health education, reduce stigma, promote self-care, and expand equitable access to prevention and treatment services.

• To generate and apply locally-driven research, adapt global best practices, and amplify the voices of people living with NCDs to shape evidence-based policies and public awareness.

• To develop and integrate a digital health application that links patients from the community to health facilities, enabling real-time data sharing, patient tracking, and coordinated monitoring across NCDs.

• To develop a community health entrepreneurship model for NCDs to ensures that healthcare becomes both sustainable and community-owned, empowering patients, households, and VHTs as health entrepreneurs.

Our Vision

To drive community-led actions for the prevention, early detection, and lifelong management of non-communicable diseases through integrated, equitable, and people-centered care that ensures better health outcomes and improved quality of life for all.
