We must make investments today to improve the lives of millions in LMICs and enable informed, healthier, better choices for all.” A call to action by Edith Mukantwari

Like me, many people living with NCDs are afraid that their lives will be cut short and lost too soon. I lived most of my 20’s afraid that I’d never make it to 30. A close friend of mine intimated the same to me the other day.

The crucial role of civil society and lived experience for sustainable financing of NCDs and mental health: A call to action by NCD Alliance

The under-funding of NCDs and mental health is not just an issue at national level. Today, NCDs cause 41 million deaths per year – 74% of all deaths globally - and are the leading cause of disability. 17 million of these NCD deaths occur prematurely - between the ages of 30 and 70 – with 86% of those deaths occurring in low-&nbsp;and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs), a disproportionately...
