Integrating services for non‐communicable diseases (NCDs) into existing primary care platforms such as HIV programmes has been recommended as a way of strengthening health systems, reducing redundancies and leveraging existing systems to rapidly scale‐up underdeveloped programmes. Mathematical modelling provides a powerful tool to address questions around priorities, optimization and implementation of such programmes. In this study, we examine the case for NCD‐HIV integration, use Kenya as a case‐study to highlight how modelling has supported wider policy formulation and decision‐making in healthcare and to collate stakeholders’ recommendations on use of models for NCD‐HIV integration decision‐making.
