This report, which aims to raise awareness, identify gaps, and inform policies, is the first comprehensive report on NCDs in Kosovo. Unlike available studies, the present work explores multiple aspects of NCDs, including their burden on health outcomes, risk factors, management, economic burden, and policies introduced to protect the population from these conditions. The report's findings are based on data from existing literature, official documents such as laws, regulations, and protocols, secondary data analysis, and interviews with key informants. The report presents comparisons with available data from the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina [BiH], Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia), aspirational (former socialist, small European Union member states such as Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Slovenia) and structural peers (Albania, Armenia, Moldova, North Macedonia, and Kyrgyz ) to contextualize the findings. The report concludes by providing recommendations to reduce the burden of NCDs in Kosovo to protect the human capital of current and future generations.
