    About Us

    Non Communicable Diseases(NCDs) in Uganda

    In 2010, the Uganda Cancer Society allied with the Uganda Heart Research Foundation and the Uganda Diabetes Association as a broader UNCDA. The alliance was formed to address common challenges across Non Communicable Diseases(NCDs) with the vision of “A society free of preventable Non Communicable Diseases(NCDs)”. Uganda non-Communicable diseases Alliance(UNCDA) is a member of East Africa NCD Alliance. The UNCDA uses targeted advocacy and outreach to advance action on prevention and control of NCDs in Uganda. We provide support to thousands of persons living with NCDs (PLWNCDs), work with a wide range of partners, organizations, institutions and leading NCDs experts to implement projects, connect new partners, and ensure that NCDs are a national Health priority.

    20 Years Professional Experience

    We are a unique alliance functioning both as an umbrella organization providing NCDs services through our partners to PLWNCDs. We’re in Kampala and 10 districts across all regions in Uganda.
