Research: UN Summit on Non-communicable Diseases
The Lancet - Non-Communicable Diseases Series 2013
The first paper emphasizes the importance of embedding NCDs into post 2015 MDG strategy, essential if the '25 by 25' target is to be achieved; paper 2 details NCD countrywide approaches including planning, implementation, accountability, and the importance of a National NCD Commission to monitor progress. An affordable step-wise approach will be the key to successful NCD implementation. Other papers discuss reducing health inequalities, 'unhealthy commodities' such as the food and drink industries, and of the importance of the scaling-up of access to vital medicines, especially the need for wider availability of affordable generic drugs.

This document entails what the key tenets of a WoS approach to NCD prevention and control should be, and explains why and how the upcoming G20 Summit should further the response to the NCD crisis with such a WoS approach.
