Where a child lives should never determine whether a child lives.
The NCDI Poverty Network works to bring lifesaving care to children and young adults doubly burdened with severe, chronic noncommunicable diseases and extreme poverty.
The NCDI Poverty Network—an international collaboration of national commissions from countries representing the poorest billion as well as technical, policy, and advocacy partners—supports countries as they implement PEN-Plus, a proven strategy for reducing the death and suffering of the world’s poorest people, primarily children and young adults, who live with severe, chronic noncommunicable diseases.
