Most Governments Unite Behind NCD Political Declaration
At the Fourth UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health, the majority of governments reaffirmed commitment to tackling the world’s leading causes of death and disability.
The Declaration sets new global targets and includes mental health, with strong language on access to affordable care. Yet it falls short on prevention, health taxes, and accountability — leaving critical gaps.
The text now moves to the UN General Assembly for adoption, as millions demand stronger, faster, fairer action on NCDs.
