1 First meeting of UN Agencies on the implementation of the Political Declaration on Noncommunicable Diseases (New York, 8 December 2011) Dr Ala Alwan Assistant Director General World Health Organization
2 Why are we here today? The Political Declaration on NCDs is a landmark achievement to start supporting developing countries in addressing NCDs and mitigate their health and socioeconomic impacts Currently, there is: lack of adequate recognition, within the UN, of NCDs as a development issue few UN agencies have started to include NCDs in their programmes no coordinated approach to identify opportunities to support Member States in addressing NCDs roles and responsibilities across the UN System to scale up work on NCDs are not clearly defined
3 Why an UN wide vision and roadmap for NCDs? To realize the commitments included in the Political Declaration on NCDs There is a strong demand from developing countries to scale up UN System's work on NCDs Capture the momentum and move from advocacy to action
4 Expected outcomes of today's meeting A common understanding of NCDs across the UN System Feedback Overview A common vision to support developing countries in addressing NCDs A collective overview of ongoing and planned efforts across the UN System to strengthen national capacities to address NCDs in developing countries Opportunities identified to develop joint programmes at global and national levels Views on an UN Ad hoc Coordination Mechanism on NCDs, if appropriate

6 Global burden of NCDs is a major challenge to all countries but developing countries are disproportionately affected
7 Global burden of NCDs 4 diseases and 4 modifiable risk factors Modifiable causative risk factors for NCDs Tobacco use Unhealthy diets Physical inactivity Harmful use of alcohol Noncommunicable diseases Heart disease and stroke Diabetes Cancer Chronic lung disease
8 Mortality due to NCDs The rapidly increasing burden in developing countries NCDs after the age of 60 injuries communicable diseases, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions 9% 28% 10% 31% 47% Global deaths (2008) NCDs before the age of 60 16% 42% 17% Deaths in low and middleincome countries only (2008)
9 Global burden of NCDs Women are dying too young from NCDs in developing countries Sierra Leone Afghanistan Equatorial Guinea Nauru Papua New Guinea Gambia Angola Kiribati Ethiopia Andorra Norway Spain Japan Germany Austria Switzerland San Marino Sweden Italy 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% Percentage of women who die from NCDs before the age of 60 (2008) Source: WHO NCD Country Profiles (2010)

16 Global burden of NCDs Why is this occurring? NCDs Underlying drivers Behavioural risk factors Metabolic/ physiological risk factors Social Determinants of Health Raised blood pressure Overweight/obesity Raised blood glucose Raised lipids Tobacco use Unhealthy diet Physical inactivity Harmful use of alcohol Globalization Urbanization Population ageing
17 Global burden of NCDs NCDs undercut the attainment of the MDGs Poverty: Household income is spent on health care for NCDs, medicines, tobacco and alcohol use Hunger: Underweight children and overweight adults are often found in the same households Maternal health: Malnutrition increases the risk of gestational diabetes and poor maternal health Child health: Malnutrition in pregnancy is associated with a vulnerability to obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes later in life Education: NCD related costs displace household resources for education HIV/AIDS: Increases the risk of cancers, and ARVs increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases Tuberculosis: Tobacco and alcohol use, and diabetes are associated with TB deaths Essential drugs: Cost effective medicines to treat NCDs are available in low cost generic forms, but remain inaccessible and unaffordable to most who need them
18 Global burden of NCDs NCDs is a development issue New perspectives Globalization Urbanization Population ageing Poverty Populations in low and middle income countries Increased exposure to common modifiable risk factors Loss of household income NCDs Limited access to effective and equitable health care services Poverty at household level More than 8 million people die before the age of 60 in developing countries from noncommunicable diseases
19 NCDs: The poor are affected the most Percent with and without cancer experiencing catastrophic spending and impoverishment percentage Catastrophic expenditures Cancer No cancer Impoverishment
20 How can countries address NCDs? There is a global vision to reduce the NCD burden: The Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of NCDs Surveillance Mapping the epidemic of NCDs Prevention Reducing the level of exposure to risk factors Management Strengthen health care for people with NCDs
21 The Vision, road map and global tools 2000 Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health Action Plan on the Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of NCDs Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol WHO Global Status Report on NCDs 2011 Political Declaration on NCDs Realizing the commitments made in the Political Declaration
