Find all the NCD Alliance publications and the most recent global data on NCDs.

This policy brief is an update to the NCD Alliance’s 2014 brief UHC and NCDs: A mutually reinforcing agenda, and reflects the developments in both the NCD response and UHC agenda since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs5. It makes the case for including NCDs in national UHC benefit packages in order to fully achieve the 2030 Agenda target of healthy lives and well-being for all at all ages.
This brief looks at the need to integrate health into climate policy – in terms of adaptation and resilience of health systems, but also co-benefit solutions which are crucial for human and planetary health. It was developed by members of health civil society including representatives from the Climate and Health Alliance (Australia), McGill University, the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, the NCD Alliance, Queensland University of Technology, the World Medical Association, the World Organization of Family Doctors and others, coordinated by the Global Climate and Health Alliance.
Oral health and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) do not exist in isolation. It is widely acknowledged that oral diseases and other NCDs are closely linked and share modifiable common risk factors, including unhealthy diets high in sugar, tobacco use and alcohol consumption. No country can end the NCD epidemic unless it effectively addresses oral health. Integrated rather than disease-specific responses are therefore needed in order to effectively address the NCD burden. This webinar co-hosted by FDI World Dental Federation and NCD Alliance will focus on how the oral health and broader NCD community can accomplish their common goals by working together.
This table provides a summary of the commitments outlined in the Political Declaration of the 2018 High-Level Meeting on NCDs held on 27 September 2018.
This webinar covered: - Recap of 2018 UN HLM on NCDs; - HLM Follow Up and Implementation: Key Developments in Policy and Practice - Air Pollution, Mental Health, Astana Conference on Primary Health Care, Global Action Plan on SDG3 drafting; - WHO Regional Committee Meetings;
Air pollution is the world’s largest single environmental health risk, and a leading risk factor for NCDs. According to the WHO, air pollution causes 7 million deaths every year worldwide. Of these deaths, about 80% are from NCDs, making the number of NCD deaths due to air pollution comparable to mortality due to tobacco use. Air pollution negatively affects quality of life for all, and in particular for billions of people living with NCDs.
Time to deliver: accelerating our response to address non-communicable diseases for the health and well-being of present and future generations. Approved on 27th September 2018, adopted by UN General Assembly on 10 October 2018.
This policy brief explores the impact of stroke in society, highlighting the need for awareness on how to prevent and treat stroke before, during and after its occurrence.
