Accelerating action on noncommunicable diseases to promote health, protect rights and save lives

Governments gathering for a high-level meeting

Global Week for Action on NCDs

Global Financing Dialogue on NCDs postponed to February 2027

The Third International Dialogue on Sustainable Financing for NCDs and Mental Health has been rescheduled for 16–18 February 2027. NCD Alliance is clear that postponing the Dialogue must not mean postponing action on NCD financing.

The months ahead must be used to build political ambition, secure tangible commitments and ensure people living with NCDs and civil society help shape the road to Manila.

NCDs – a global health threat with actionable solutions

With smart investments, strong leadership, and people-centred policies, we can reduce preventable deaths, strengthen health systems, and create healthier, fairer societies.

Learn more: What are NCDs and how can we act?

Noncommunicable diseases — including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, mental health and respiratory conditions, as well as kidney, musculoskeletal, oral, eye and ear conditions, and many others — are the world’s leading causes of death and disability. But most are preventable or manageable.

Discover the evidence-based policy solutions that work, and how bold policies, smarter investment, and community leadership can save millions of lives.
