🩺 Three out of four deaths are caused by noncommunicable diseases — and the numbers keep rising.
From heart disease to cancer and diabetes, noncommunicable diseases (#NCDs) are today’s leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Together with mental health disorders, they represent a major global health burden and substantially reduce quality of life.
After the Fourth United Nations High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health, #WHS2025 brought together leaders from politics, science, civil society, and the private sector to drive solutions on:
🔹 Promoting prevention & early detection
🔹 Ensuring access to effective treatment
🔹 Collaborating across sectors and borders to address social & economic drivers
Together, we can reduce the burden of NCDs and build healthier lives for future generations.
