“…..This latest Series on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) builds on
previous Lancet Series (2010, 2007, 2005), and on a landmark high-level
United Nations NCD meeting convened in September 2011.

****

The aim of the new Series is to set out clear plans for countrywide
implementation of NCD plans in the post-MDG era, towards the unified goal
of '25 by 25'—reducing NCD mortality worldwide by 2025. ****


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. ….”
