NCD Hard Talks Webinar: Health, Money and Power: Presentation slides

Overview

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have rattled the global health landscape, demanding an urgent realignment of priorities and processes to address the immense health, economic and social development burden. Recent projections provide an optimistic lens to incentivize countries towards action: for every dollar invested in NCD prevention and control, there is an estimated return of US $7. The 2021 report, ‘Saving lives, spending less: the case for investing in NCD’ shows that an additional investment of US$ 0.84 per person per year in low-income countries (LICs) and low and middle-income countries (LMICs) could deliver a package of measures that will reduce the burden of NCDs and deliver on the promise.
