Abstract

Refugees in Kalobeyei experience a high burden of overlapping NCD risk factors, shaped by structural inequalities, service access deficits, and sociocultural context. Addressing these risks requires multisectoral, culturally responsive strategies that integrate health, nutrition, energy, and protection systems in protracted humanitarian settings.
