Many countries have reduced deaths from heart disease, cancer, lung disease & diabetes over the past decade. However, in 60% of countries, progress is slowing & in some, the number of deaths is actually rising.

The global 2030 target is at risk unless govts ACT NOW! 👉 bit.ly/4pBAcKL #BeatNCDs #UNGA

Large bold text reads: ‘Progress in preventing deaths due to noncommunicable diseases is slowing.’ Smaller text at the bottom says: ‘The global 2030 target is at risk unless governments ACT NOW!’
