A Journey Towards Accessible NCD Healthcare
Born from a shared mission: improving access to medicines and medical goods to low- and middle-income countries.
This journey began with two social organisations—IDA Foundation and Solvoz—combining their strengths to create a solution that would address the complex challenges of NCD care.
By bringing together IDA Foundation’s extensive procurement expertise and Solvoz’s digital innovation, NCDconnect enables sustainable access to NCD medicines and medical devices, equipping healthcare organisations with the essential tools to deliver effective, quality care to those who need it most.
Our Vision: Closing the NCD Care Gap
As global health priorities evolve, NCDs have emerged as a growing crisis. Unlike infectious diseases, which benefit from robust funding and coordinated global action, NCDs—such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, and chronic respiratory diseases—have been overlooked, particularly in LMICs.
Recognising this unmet need, NCDconnect was developed to expand access to essential medicines and medical devices against NCDs.
Our Roots: Two Partners, One Mission
