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. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">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. <u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
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.

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. ….”<br>
