15 Julio 2025

This summary report is part of a case study series exploring the importance of strong health systems for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.4 to reduce premature mortality from NCDs by one-third by 2030.

Delivering comprehensive prevention, treatment and care for NCDs across a person’s life-course requires strong and integrated health systems. This paper aims to explore current health system challenges to achieving this and present examples of what has been done to overcome these challenges.

This report is based on the outcomes of three case studies that analysed different aspects of current global and national NCD responses.
