This document discusses initiatives for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally and in India. It outlines gaps in understanding NCDs, global initiatives like the WHO Global Action Plan 2013-2020, and national programs in India such as the National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS). The Action Plan aims to reduce NCD mortality by 25% by 2025 through multisectoral actions targeting NCD risks and strengthening health systems. NPCDCS screens for and manages common NCDs through India's public health system.

25. Targets of GAP 2020
• 9. 80 per cent availability of affordable
technology and essential medicines including
generics required to treat major NCD in public

26. UNIATF
The United Nations Interagency Task Force (UNIATF)
on the Prevention and Control of NCDs coordinates
the activities of relevant UN organizations and other
inter-governmental organizations to support
governments to meet high-level commitments to
respond to NCD epidemics worldwide.

27. FCTC
• The WHO FCTC was developed in response to
the globalization of the tobacco epidemic
• The Convention represents a milestone for the
promotion of public health and provides new
legal dimensions for international health
cooperation.
• INDIA Launced National tobacco control
program 2007

28. “Best Buys”
From Burden to “Best Buys”:
• Reducing the Economic Impact of Non-
Communicable Diseases in Low- and Middle-Income
Countries
• Individual-based NCD “best buy” interventions
• – which range from counselling and drug therapy for
cardiovascular disease to measures to prevent
cervical cancer
• Population based and indivdual based

29. Pigovian tax
• Pigovian tax is a tax on any market activity that
generates negative externalities (costs not
included in the market price).
• The tax is intended to correct an inefficient
market outcome, equal to the social cost of the
negative externalities.
• examples of externalities are environmental
pollution, and increased public healthcare costs
associated with tobacco and sugary drink
consumption.

31. Best Buys Intervention

54. INTRODUCTION
• Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)—mainly
cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory
diseases and diabetes—are the world’s biggest killers.
More than 36 million people die annually from NCDs
(63% of global deaths), including more than 14 million
people who die too young between the ages of 30 and
70. Low- and middle-income countries already bear
86% of the burden of these premature deaths, resulting
in cumulative economic losses of US$7 trillion over the
next 15 years and millions of people trapped in poverty.

55. • Most of these premature deaths from NCDs are
largely preventable by enabling health systems to
respond more effectively and equitably to the
health-care needs of people with NCDs, and
influencing public poli- cies in sectors outside
health that tackle shared risk factors—namely
tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity,
and the harmful use of alcohol.

56. • NCDs are now well-studied and understood, and
this gives all Member States an immediate
advantage to take action. The Moscow
Declaration on NCDs, endorsed by Ministers of
Health in May 2011, and the UN Political
Declaration on NCDs, endorsed by Heads of
State and Government in September 2011,
recognized the vast body of knowledge and
experience regarding the preventability of NCDs
and immense opportuni- ties for global action
to control them

57. • . Therefore, Heads of State and Government
committed themselves in the UN Political
Declaration on NCDs to establish and
strengthen, by 2013, multisectoral national
policies and plans for the prevention and
control of NCDs, and consider the
development of national targets and
indicators based on national situations.

58. • To realize these commitments, the World
Health Assembly endorsed the WHO Global
Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of
NCDs 2013-2020 in May 2013. The Global
Action Plan provides Member States,
international partners and WHO

59. • with a road map and menu of policy options
which, when implemented collectively
between 2013 and 2020, will contribute to
progress on 9 global NCD targets to be
attained in 2025, including a 25% relative
reduction in premature mortality from NCDs
by 2025. Appendix 3 of the Global Action
Plan is a gold mine of current scientific
knowledge and available evidence based on a
review of international experience.

60. • WHO’s global monitoring framework on
NCDs will start tracking implementation of
the Global Action Plan through monitoring
and reporting on the attainment of the 9
global targets for NCDs, by 2015, against a
baseline in 2010.

61. • Accordingly, governments are urged to
• (i) set national NCD targets for 2025 based
on national circumstances;
• (ii) develop multisectoral national NCD plans
to reduce exposure to risk factors and enable
health systems to respond in order to reach
these national targets in 2025; and
• (iii) measure results, taking into account the
Global Action Plan.

62. • Taking note with appreciation of all the region- al initiatives undertaken on the
prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases, in- cluding the Declaration

sembly (resolution WHA64.11), which requests
the Director-General to develop, together with
relevant United Nations agencies and entities,
an implementation and follow up plan for the
outcomes of the Conference and the High-level
Meeting of the United Nations General Assem-
