 Non-communicable diseases are a global problem which account for some 36 million deaths every year


The increasing burden of NCDs in low and middle-income countries poses an economic, social and moral stumbling block to global health and prosperity. This underscores the importance of partnership to understand what the most significant problems are and to work together to solve them.
