Joint Action PreventNCD

Joint Action PreventNCDis a European initiative that brings countries together to fight non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases. The project focuses on:

• Strengthening national and regional policies for NCD prevention

• Promoting healthy lifestyles across populations

• Reducing risk factorslike tobacco, alcohol, unhealthy diets, and physical inactivity

The project helps governments and organisations share best practices, develop guidelines, and coordinate actions to create healthier environments for citizens. It also encourages cross-border cooperation and learning between European countries.

How Joint Action PreventNCD connects with ELISAH, PEACHD, FILTERED, and ShowUp4Health

With ELISAH:

PreventNCD provides the policy framework that supports citizens in making healthier choices, which ELISAH then delivers directly through its app.

With PEACHD:

PreventNCD helps create national strategies and guidance, which PEACHD uses to implement practical interventions in healthcare settings.

With FILTERED:

PreventNCD complements FILTERED’s advocacy work by sharing knowledge and coordinating policy actions across countries.

With ShowUp4Health:

PreventNCD provides the strategic backbone for awareness and citizen engagement campaigns like ShowUp4Health, making them more effective.

In short: Joint Action PreventNCD strengthens policies and coordination across Europe, FILTERED builds collaborations and advocacy, PEACHD delivers interventions in healthcare, ShowUp4Health motivates citizens, and ELISAH supports individuals directly—together forming a complete, multi-level approach to preventing non-communicable diseases.
