Dr. Ala Alwan from UW-Madison Global Health Institute World Health Organization (WHO) speaks on breast cancer within the context of NCDs: 71% of all global deaths are due to Non-Communicable Diseases (cardiac, chronic lung, cancer and diabetes). 85% of premature deaths from NCDs are in low/middle income countries. #bhgi2018

Dr Alwan: Less than 25% of global deaths are reported which results in under appreciation of #ncd burden UW Global Health University of Washington School of Public Health UW Medicine #bhgi2018 World Health Organization (WHO)

5 years ago #GH2035 concluded that a grand convergence in health is feasible for all but the poorest countries. For #AlmaAta40, a renewed call for global investment in health recognising efforts to strengthen #PHC hubs.ly/H0fbF090 Next in the #Astana2018 Relay: @GaviSeth

If we can ensure, together, that every1, no matter where they live, no matter what their background or income level, has = access to minimum standard of #healthcare, not only do we save lives, but we support productivity of society, & sustainable & equitable development #UHCDay

My reflections focused around 3 🔑 questions: 1. How is #HLM3 on #NCDs different from 2011 & 2014? 2. What are the challenges ahead of us in preparing for #HLM3? 3. Will #HLM3 be a tipping point for the global response on prevention & control of #NCDs? x.com/mennovanhilten…

1. How is #HLM3 on #NCDs different from 2011 & 2014? Occurring at challenging time - we cannot afford to fail: disappointment with slow progress since 2011, #NCDs & #UHC part of #SDGs, #mentalhealth is part of #SDGs 3.4 🎯, increased tension between trade & #PublicHealth

2. What are the challenges ahead of us in preparing for #HLM3? World Health Organization (WHO) / @GHC_IHEID meeting June 2017 identified 6 obstacles where action needs to be reinforced: political choices, #HealthSystems, financing, capacity, opposing forces, global accountability goo.gl/RV3ucd

The #NCDs global strategy endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 2000 remains valid today. I hope we can continue to build on it rather than reinventing the wheel after 18 years of important progress x.com/un_ncd/status/…

Despite long-standing international commitments, progress to reduce #NCDs has been frustratingly slow. How can governments tackle this growing global problem? bit.ly/2q4SQ0t United Nations Association - UK (UNA-UK)

New research published by The Lancet shows taxes can produce major health gains. Important insight as our own Task Force on Fiscal Policy for Health explores the policies that will make the biggest difference. mikebloom.bg/2GA8QCF
