It Takes the Whole Village: Addressing NCDs in Marawi City and Lanao del Sur
In 2019, CARE worked with the Marawi City Health Office and the Integrated Provincial Health Office in addressing the challenges of the health sector in taking care of the needs of patients that were displaced by the Marawi siege, especially those who are suffering from non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
After 5 years, the overwhelming task of making the health system more accessible and responsive to the special needs of people living with NCDs was made easier through the collaboration of the health offices, the support of the local government units, and the perseverance of community health volunteers.

This is the story of how it takes a whole village of health professionals and community health volunteers to fight against NCDs.
The "Addressing NCDS in Humanitarian Settings-Bridge Year" project is led by CARE in partnership with the Lanao del Sur Integrated Provincial Health Office, Marawi City Health Office, BARMM Ministry of Health, Mindanao State University-Marawi and Amai Pakpak Medical Center supported by Abbott.
