“With displacement into both camps and non-camp urban settings now becoming the norm, it is critical that the management of NCDs are a core part of any humanitarian health response.”

“Chronic NCDs have an immense impact on the quality of life and well-being of refugees. Improvements in our study in the quality of care refugees receive, have far-reaching impacts on their day-to-day lives, and also likely lessen the socioeconomic burden associated with complications of these conditions when left uncontrolled.”
