Description

This briefing note provides background and key advocacy messages on the noncommunicable disease (NCD) community’s priorities for the 154th session of the WHO Executive Board (EB154), covering NCD-relevant items on the provisional agenda (EB154/1 annotated).

The NCD community applaud WHO and Member State’s efforts to advance global and country policy and action for the provision of the continuum of care for people living with NCDs through the 154th Session of the WHO Executive Board. This work is vital as global progress is not on track to achieve global targets on NCDs and their risk factors by 2030, impacting the associated Sustainable Development Goal 3 targets, including the attainment of Universal Health Coverage.
