From Commitment to Action: Financing priorities to scale equitable access for NCDs and mental health calls on governments to move beyond commitments and take concrete steps to achieve equitable access, strengthen financial protection and reduce the cost of essential NCD care.

The brief comes as countries work towards commitments made in the 2025 Political Declaration on NCDs and Mental Health, including targets for 60% of countries to have financial protection policies in place for NCD and mental health services, and for 80% of primary healthcare (PHC) facilities to have WHO-recommended essential medicines and basic technologies available at affordable prices by 2030.
