About the event
The NCD burden is expected to increase by 17% by 2025 - so the time to ACT is now! The Global Week for Action on NCDs aims to slow the increasing burden of NCDs, thanks to the contributions of people everywhere. Actions can be big or small - the power of the Global Week for Action comes through collaboration across countries and sectors towards a common goal: reducing preventable death and illness and increasing health and equity around the world.
In 2021, we are celebrating the power and potential of communities to co-create healthier societies.
COMMUNITIES power governments. Participation is essential to ensure and accelerate progress on NCD prevention and care in a way that upholds the right to health and leaves no one behind.
YOU have the right to be heard and participate in all aspects of society, including health. Governments must ensure communities are at the heart of decision-making processes.
GOVERNMENTS and communities can build healthier societies together. YOU can drive change by reaching out to others, participating in decision making, sharing stories, calling out injustice, and collaborating.
