It was launched in Chandigarh, in 2015 by few innovative Faculty members working at prestigious Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, to focus on Public Health approaches for prevention, control and management of noncommunicable diseases globally.

World NCD Federation- Centre for Implementation Sciences & Research in NCDs is organizing the 3^rd International Course on Implementation Sciences and Research in Noncommunicable Diseases from 30th September-4th October 2024.

Implementation is a major challenge in any national NCD programme as most of the NCD programmes are new. Though there is a growing recognition of the importance of implementation research, significant gaps in human resource capacity and implementation challenges remain. The course will be an important step towards the growing emphasis on implementation science as an essential aspect of bridging the evidence-to-practice gap. The training will be through interactive sessions and skill development by expert faculty.
