Abstract

The WHO European Action Network on Health Literacy for Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (HL-NCD Network) was launched in January 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal, and is currently co-chaired by two countries: Portugal and the Russian Federation. The HL-NCD Network is intended to collate global and national health literacy experiences and scale up health literacy interventions in order to improve the implementation of noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevention and control, and promote health through the life-course. This short communication provides an overview of the goals, objectives, organization, time frame of work and plans for the future of the HL-NCD Network.
