NCDs – a global health threat with actionable solutions

With smart investments, strong leadership, and people-centred policies, we can reduce preventable deaths, strengthen health systems, and create healthier, fairer societies.

Learn more: What are NCDs and how can we act?

Noncommunicable diseases — including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, mental health and respiratory conditions, as well as kidney, musculoskeletal, oral, eye and ear conditions, and many others — are the world’s leading causes of death and disability. But most are preventable or manageable.

Discover the evidence-based policy solutions that work, and how bold policies, smarter investment, and community leadership can save millions of lives.
