The Global Week for Action on NCDs is a global campaign led by the NCD Alliance - uniting civil society, relevant private sector organisations, NGOs, decisionmakers and people living with chronic illnesses (NCDs) around a specific theme.

“The brutal fact is that, for many people in the world, the chances of surviving an NCD depend heavily on the ability to pay. To change this, we are calling on decision makers ahead of the upcoming High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage to fulfil their commitments and take bold action.”
“This year offers us a exceptional opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of people living with NCDs. The upcoming United Nations High-level meeting on Universal Health Coverage in September is THE place for governments to align their commitments to deliver the needed investment in equitable and accessible health systems for all. This is the moment to show the world they care. This is the moment for caring.”
“WHO has declared the end of COVID-19 as a global health emergency, yet the need for greater political will to strengthen health systems is as urgent as ever. We are calling on leaders to prioritise people’s health including through NCD prevention and care. To be better prepared for, and more resilient against future public health emergencies, we need to invest in supporting healthier populations and stronger health services.”
