Lessons learned from implementing the Non-Communicable Diseases Kit in a humanitarian emergency: an operational evaluation in Sudan.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major global health concern, and their management is particularly challenging in humanitarian contexts where healthcare resources are limited. The WHO Non-Communicable Diseases Kit (WHO-NCDK) is a health system intervention targeted at the primary healthcare (PHC) level and designed to provide essential medicines and equipment for NCDs management in emergency settings, meeting the needs of 10 000 people for 3 months. This operational evaluation aimed to assess the effectiveness and utility of the WHO-NCDK in two PHC facilities in Sudan and identify key contextual factors that may influence its implementation and impact.
