Abstract in brief

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) represent a significant global health challenge, accounting for 71% of deaths worldwide and 32% in Ethiopia, highlighting the urgent need for effective primary health care (PHC) systems to manage these conditions.
A qualitative study involving key informant interviews revealed that despite existing NCD strategies in Ethiopia, critical gaps exist in governance, funding, and the capacity of the PHC workforce to effectively deliver integrated NCD services.
To improve NCD outcomes, Ethiopia needs enhanced political commitment, investment, and a more coordinated approach to strengthen its PHC infrastructure and service delivery.
