Community Paper: Some people need to leave or flee their home.

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of the death worldwide. Nonetheless, the prevention and control of NCDs receives too little attention. The Hub Community on NCD, founded in partnership with the Centre for Global Health – Technical University Munich, aims to stipulate change in this area.
