Norway was the first country to launch an international development strategy on NCDs, Better Health, Better Lives (pdf), which positions Norway at the forefront in expanding work on NCDs in low-income countries. In line with the strategy, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health aims to help to prevent NCDs through health related development cooperation.
