According to the World Health Organization, 7 in 10 deaths globally are caused by noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) — including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory conditions and mental health disorders. Yet, most of these diseases are preventable.

At Viatris, we believe education is a powerful lever for change. That’s why we are engaged in the NCD Academy as a founding sponsor - an innovative, free online platform developed and operated by the American College of Cardiology in collaboration with the NCD Alliance and the World Heart Federation. The program provides high-quality, expert-led continuing education to healthcare professionals (HCPs) across the globe, equipping general practitioners, specialists, nurses, pharmacists, and community health workers with the knowledge to better prevent, detect, and manage NCDs.

NCD Academy has already empowered ~70,000 healthcare professionals in over 20 countries - and through them, we aim to improve the lives of 100 million patients by the end of 2025.
