World Health Assembly, May 2013: 9 global NCD targets to be attained by 2025 (against a 2010 baseline) A 25% relative reduction in risk of premature mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory diseases At least a 10% relative reduction in the harmful use of alcohol A 10% relative reduction in prevalence of insufficient physical activity A 25% relative reduction in prevalence of raised blood pressure or contain the prevalence of raised blood pressure A 30% relative reduction in prevalence of current tobacco use Halt the rise in diabetes and obesity A 30% relative reduction in mean population intake of salt/sodium An 80% availability of the affordable basic technologies and essential medicines, incl. generics, required to treat NCDs At least 50% of eligible people receive drug therapy and counselling to prevent heart attacks and strokes How do we know we are achieving targets?

Objectives and progress on implementation of UN time-bound commitments on NCD (to be reported by WHO in 2018) 1. Time-bound national targets and indicators 2. System for generating reliable cause specific mortality data 3. STEPS survey or a comprehensive health examination survey every 5 years Surveillance, monitoring and evaluation Governance 4. Operational multisectoral national strategy/action plan 5. Focus on four key demand reduction measures of the WHO FCTC 6. Implement three key measures to reduce the harmful use of alcohol 7. Implement four key measures to reduce unhealthy diet 8. Implement at least one public awareness programme on healthy diet / physical activity Prevention and reduction of risk factors Health care 9. Evidence-based national guidelines/ protocols/ standards for the management of major NCDs 10.Provision of drug therapy and counselling for eligible persons
