Noncommunicable diseases cause nearly three quarters of deaths in the world. There are four major NCDs: cardiovascular diseases (heart disease and stroke), cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disease. Their drivers are social, environment, commercial and genetic, and their presence is global.

This report reminds us the true scale of the threat posed by NCDs and their risk factors. It also sheds light on what we can do about them. The data paint a clear picture. The problem is that the world isn’t looking at it.
