This global status report is the second
in a triennial series tracking world wide
progress in prevention and control of
noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). The
majority of NCDs are preventable. This
report gives encouraging evidence that
premature NCD deaths can indeed be
significantly reduced worldwide.
The primary target audience of this report
are Ministers of Health. The report provides
information on voluntary global targets and
how to scale up national efforts to attain
them, in a sustainable manner. The 2010
baseline estimates on NCD mortality and
risk factors are provided so that countries
may begin reporting to WHO on progress
made in attaining targets, starting in 2015.
The country case studies on successful
prevention and control of NCDs highlighted
in the report can be instructive for others
facing similar challenges. As discussed in
this report, there is an agreed set of very
cost-effective - and globally applicable NCD interventions for attaining all nine
targets by 2025.
This second global status report comes at a
time when only a decade is left to achieve
the internationally agreed voluntary global
NCD targets. It is also a time when we
can be more optimistic about the future
prevention and control of NCDs, than
perhaps at any stage in recent history.
In order to attain the global NCD targets,
governments, international partners and
WHO will need to work together, sharing
and exchanging evidence and information
and taking the necessary steps for reducing
gaps in capcity and resources.
