NCD voices from SIDS and other countries calling for leadership ahead of HLM4

In late April, NCD advocates from around the world gathered in New York to recharge their efforts and meet with their countries’ representatives ahead of the fourth UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health (HLM4). At HLM4, countries will renew their commitments to stopping the world’s biggest killer, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), from claiming 43 million lives every year. The Multi-S...

The crucial role of civil society and lived experience for sustainable financing of NCDs and mental health: A call to action by NCD Alliance

The under-funding of NCDs and mental health is not just an issue at national level. Today, NCDs cause 41 million deaths per year – 74% of all deaths globally - and are the leading cause of disability. 17 million of these NCD deaths occur prematurely - between the ages of 30 and 70 – with 86% of those deaths occurring in low-&nbsp;and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs), a disproportionately...

New fund for NCDs to spark country action

NCDs account for 74% of all global deaths, 41 million people each year, yet they attract a miniscule fraction of global health financing. So situating them within other regional and global health movements, such as advocacy for Universal Health Coverage, is key to raising their profile and boosting support for NCD care and prevention, explains Dr. Douglas Webb in this episode of the NCD Alliance p...

WHO Health for All report challenges leaders to adopt new approaches to health and the economy
