Bente Mikkelsen, , recently shared on LinkedIn:
“Today marks the launch of the 2023 Global Week of Action on NCDs! The Global Week of Action on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) is a yearly campaign curated by NCD Alliance, aimed at slowing the increasing burden of NCDs with contributions of people everywhere. Actions can be big or small – the power of the Global Week for Action comes through collaboration across countries and sectors towards a common goal: reducing preventable death and illness and increasing health and equity around the world. This year’s campaign is all about communicating that the Moment For Caring is now. Please listen to the message from Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus message for the 2023 Global Week of action below.
The WHO Global mapping report on multisectoral actions to strengthen the prevention and control of NCDs and mental health conditions launched today showcases how countries are implementing multisectoral actions across government sectors and engaging with diverse stakeholders. The report is complemented by a digital repository of country experiences hosted on the Knowledge Action Portal on NCDs.
People of all age groups, regions, and countries are affected by NCD, and 86% are estimated to occur in low- and middle-income countries, so let’s act on NCDs.”
