The
Heartfile program in Pakistan focuses on Non
Communicable
Disease (NCD) prevention, control and health promotion, and includes several initiatives that
encompass building policy, reorienting health services,
community interventions and research.
Initiated
by the non-profit private sector, the program now links
with major public sector primary health care programs
and is currently spearheading formulation of the
National Action Plan on Non communicable Disease
Prevention and Control in Pakistan. In addition, the
program is also currently being refined, validated and
packaged as a replicable model for other developing
countries and low resource settings with inbuilt
components sensitive to cultural and social adaptations
