Joint Industry Statement for WHO's Executive Board Meeting 154 (January 2024)
We welcome the Executive Board (EB) report on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and WHO’s continued efforts to tackle one of the greatest health challenges of our lifetimes. With childhood obesity and diabetes on an alarming rise, alongside population ageing, urbanization, climate change, air pollution amongst other factors, a life-course approach to tackling NCDs is critical given the unsustainable pressures chronic conditions and comorbidities are placing on healthcare systems worldwide.
