Tackling NCDs has been described as a policy win, but an implementation failure.
📢On the 1st day of the Global Week for Action 2024, we call on governments to change that & spotlight NCD policy wins worldwide✨

'The world responded urgently to the urgency of #COVID19 but is not responding to the magnitude of #NCDs.' ✅

[Katy Cooper @healthkaty]

The burden of #NCDs is 'unacceptable, increasing and inequitable', @AlisonDDCox notes in her introductory statement, linking NCDs to several of the #SDGs.

💬"Investing an additional $140 billion on NCDs over 2023-30 would avert 39 million deaths➕ $2·7 trillion in economic gain🟰benefits outweigh costs by 19-1"

🗨️"We understand that some investments that benefit NCD care may be hidden in plain sight because they are part of integrated health services & multisectoral action. So, if we believe what gets measured gets done - we need to develop better tracking systems, and the first need is to improve the data, #transparency, and #accountability around these funding flows nationally and in #development assistance." - @AlisonDDCox at today's @WHO Multistakeholder Briefing on the 2nd NCD Financing Dialogue.

📢We are asking for the Financing Dialogue’s outcomes to commit to the development of global financing targets ahead of the political declaration process for the UN High-Level Meeting on #NCDs in 2025.

[NCD Alliance @ncdalliance]

👏Some key highlights from @MikkelsenBente_ at the High-level technical meeting on #NCDs in #humanitarian settings:
✅ Solutions need to be co-created together with communities.
✅ 🗨️"We must continue this discussion at the global, regional and national levels"
✅We have to consider the emergency framework and how we can adapt and adopt it.
✅ Lack of data cannot be an excuse for the lack of action.
✅ Implementation research is vital.
✅ Call to fill out finding gaps is often an elephant in the room. BUT it should not be. We have a business case for international funders.
