The Healthy India Alliance aims to create an enabling environment for active participation of health and non-health civil society organisations to prevent and control Non-Communicable Diseases through effective policies, partnerships and programmes.

Our Vision

The Healthy India Alliance will catalyse multi-sectoral action to enhance health and quality of life in India.

Our Genesis

The global NCD Alliance (led by seven international NGO federations) along with the WHO South-East Asia Regional Office (SEARO) convened a Consultation of Civil Society Organisations(CSOs) in July 2015 to deliberate on priorities and strategies to advance NCD prevention and control in the Region and the role of CSOs therein.

Following this SEAR CSO Consultation, the NCD Alliance convened an Indian Civil Society Roundtable to activate a collaborative CSO response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for setting up a multi-disciplinary CSO coalition in India, to strengthen NCD advocacy. An ad hoc committee of organizations working on NCD issues in India responded to the RFP and volunteered to form the ‘Healthy India Alliance’ for the prevention and control of NCDs in India.
