Vision:
A world free of the avoidable burden of noncommunicable
diseases.
Goal:
To reduce the preventable and avoidable burden of morbidity,
mortality and disability due to noncommunicable diseases by
means of multisectoral collaboration and cooperation at
national, regional and global levels, so that populations
reach the highest attainable standards of health and
productivity at every age and those diseases are no longer a
barrier to well-being or socioeconomic development.
Overarching principles:
• Life-course approach
• Empowerment of people and communities
• Evidence-based strategies
• Universal health coverage
• Management of real, perceived or potential
conflicts of interest
• Human rights approach
• Equity-based approach
• National action and international
cooperation and solidarity
• Multisectoral action
Objectives
1. To raise the priority accorded to the
prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases in
global, regional and national agendas and internationally
agreed development goals, through strengthened international
cooperation and advocacy.
2. To strengthen national capacity,
leadership, governance, multisectoral action and
partnerships to accelerate country response for the
prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases.
3. To reduce modifiable risk factors for
noncommunicable diseases and underlying social determinants
through creation of health-promoting environments.
4. To strengthen and orient health systems to
address the prevention and control of noncommunicable
diseases and the underlying social determinants through
people-centred primary health care and universal health
coverage.
5. To promote and support national capacity
for high-quality research and development for the prevention
and control of noncommunicable diseases.
6. To
monitor the trends and determinants of noncommunicable
diseases and evaluate progress
in their prevention and control.
