Palau Developed Non-Communicable Disease Strategic Roadmap with PHIG Support

The Ministry of Health & Human Services - Republic of Palau hosted a Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Progress Dissemination and Strategic Planning Workshop in April 2024 to guide the creation of an NCD strategic roadmap for 2025-2030. The workshop brought together community and government agency leaders and was co-facilitated by national PHIG partners ASTHO and NNPHI. As U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands face some of the world’s highest rates of chronic disease, Palau’s commitment to engaging community stakeholders, defining clear measures of success, and defining a path forward is a source of hope.
