  8. Mapping of current health system activities of NCD in Malaysia Malaysia have fulfilled most indicators of the building blocks However current activities disjointed, not well coordinated, restricted to ‘health sector’ & not truly multi-sectoral Lack of strong civil society • Stewardship: Government mandate for NCD policies • Health financing: Government pays for bulk of primary care • Heath workforce: Information & skills in NCD part of basic training • Info & evidence: Availability of nationwide risk factor data • Medicines & technology: First & second line drugs available • Health services: Risk factor screening & intervention

  14. Lessons learned • Put the right people at the right place • Have all of the materials and tools prepared – seize the chance when the opportunities come • Seek out the “right” partners in other ministries & civil societies • Facts may not actually work well in getting buy-in. Need to become a salesman

  15. My Grand Challenge • Raise the political priority of NCD • Provide committed and effective leadership in NCD
