Package of Essential Non Communicable Disease (PEN) Intervention at Primary Health Service Setting: Nepal have endorsed a commitment to align their national NCD targets towards the 2025 through the adopted Multi-Sectoral Action Plan for Prevention and Control of NCDs 2014- 2020. These include achieving the two health service targets: ensuring that 80% of health facilities have essential NCD medicines and technologies, and 50% of high-risk populations needing drug therapy and counseling. Nepal Government has committed to strengthen the PHC approach to deliver NCD services from all health facilities.

In order to support essential NCD services, Nepal has adopted World Health Organization (WHO) cost effective intervention known as the Package of Essential Non-communicable Disease Interventions (PEN) since 2016.
