Summary
The Covid-19 pandemic has presented new challenges for patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as healthcare systems experience increased resource constraints, conflicting priorities, challenges related to emerging or re-emerging diseases, and difficulties in prioritising NCD services.
This report summarises a World Health Organization (WHO) meeting held in December 2020 that aimed to harness the power of community knowledge to tailor priorities, programmes and practices for NCDs and mental health, so that they are realistic, appropriate and attractive to the target populations. Patient experts and representatives with NCDs addressed the following questions:
- What does meaningful engagement mean?
- How do we engage meaningfully?
- Where do we go from here?
