The global agenda for NCD prevention and control
The global agenda for NCD prevention and control & focus of the Seminar Nick Banatvala & Pascal Bovet 9 th WHO-IUMSP International Seminar on the Public Health Aspects of Noncommunicable Diseases Lausanne, 4 -8 May 2015
Key messages to date • NCDs are already leading health problems in almost all countries and their magnitude is still increasing • Shared risk factors • Premature deaths • The poor are disproportionately affected • Negative impact on socioeconomic development • As countries continue to develop, market forces will further promote unhealthy patterns. • Action is urgently needed
Focus on 4 NCDs and 4 common risk factors for NCDs Tobacco use Unhealthy diets Physical inactivity Harmful use of alcohol Heart disease and stroke Diabetes Cancer Chronic lung disease

WHO Global Monitoring Framework on NCDs: 9 global NCD targets to be attained by 2025 A 25% relative reduction in risk of premature mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory diseases A 30% relative reduction in prevalence of current tobacco use Halt the rise in diabetes and obesity At least a 10% relative reduction in the harmful use of alcohol A 30% relative reduction in mean population intake of salt/sodium A 10% relative reduction in prevalence of insufficient physical activity An 80% availability of the affordable basic technologies and essential medicines, incl. generics, required to treat NCDs A 25% relative reduction in prevalence of raised blood pressure or contain the prevalence of raised blood pressure At least 50% of eligible people receive drug therapy and counselling to prevent heart attacks and strokes
WHO Global Monitoring Framework on NCDs: 25 outcome indicators Mortality and Morbidity • Unconditional probability of dying between the ages of 30 and 70 years from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory diseases • Cancer incidence by type of cancer Risk factors • Harmful use of alcohol (3) • Low fruit and vegetable intake • Physical inactivity (2) • Salt intake • Saturated fat intake • Tobacco use (2) • Raised blood glucose/diabetes • Raised blood pressure • Overweight and obesity (2) • Raised total cholesterol National Systems Response • Cervical cancer screening • Drug therapy and counselling • Essential NCD medicines and technologies • Hepatitis B vaccine • Human Papilloma Virus vaccine • Marketing to children • Access to palliative care • Policies to limit saturated fats and virtually eliminate trans fats Total number of related indicators in brackets
United Nations General Assembly 2011 UN Political Declaration on NCDs 2014 UN Outcome Document on NCDs Roadmap of 19 concrete national commitments, including one time-bound commitment: • By 2013, consider developing national multisectoral policies and plans Reiterated the same roadmap of 19 national commitments, including four time-bound commitments: • By 2015, consider setting national targets • By 2015, consider developing national multisectoral policies and plans • By 2016, implement "best buys" to (i) reduce risk factors for NCDs and (ii) enable health systems to respond International commitments (completed): • By 2012, WHO to develop a global monitoring framework for NCDs, including global targets • By 2013, WHO to submit a progress report to the UN General Assembly • By 2014, UN General Assembly to convene a second High-level Meeting on NCDs International commitments: • By 2017, WHO to submit a progress report to the UN General Assembly • By 2018, UN General Assembly to convene a third High-level Meeting on NCD
Examples of regional framework & process indicators
The way forward Vision: Global Strategy & UN Political Declaration Roadmap: Updated framework & process indicators WHO Tools: Covering all areas Governance National targets and indicators Operational multisectoral action plans Surveillance Implement framework on surveillance Prevention Implement “best buys” Health care Implement “best buys”; strengthen PHC 13
Topics addressed during Seminar • • • Global situation of NCD Major strategies to prevent and control NCDs & risk factors Priority interventions (best buys) Surveillance, global and national targets Selected processes underlying implementation (governance, multisectoral action, leadership, etc) • Review of a number of tools and resources available to implement 2013 -2020 WHO Plan of Action • Build knowledge and skills to implement strategy and plan of action for NCD prevention and control at national level
