MoU signing between 6 participating countries (Source: http://www.ncd-asean.com/2020/01/31/open-ceremony-workshop-and-mou/) Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, especially in low-to-middle-income countries. A global health report found that more than 85 per cent of the group of premature deaths occurred in low and middle-income countries, including six countries in Asean -- Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. And WHO is aware of the problem. Therefore, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was enacted in 2015 to jointly develop health promotion programs in 6 areas to manage the NCD and meet sustainable development goals, including the development of alcohol control policies. Promote physical activities, promote well-being in schools, develop salt intake monitoring systems, develop surveillance systems for the prevention and control of chronic non-communicable diseases and basic health care for universal health insurance.

This project will conduct three capacity-building workshops over one and a half years. These include an initial capacity-building workshop, a gap analysis workshop, and a proposal writing workshop. The country research team will then do situational analysis, identify gaps for development, and write development proposals for strengthening the surveillance systems in their own country. The final products will be six country-specific surveillance system strengthening proposals and policy reports. Moreover, scientific papers on the current situation of surveillance systems in six ASEAN countries will be produced.
