非传染性疾病（NCD）的全球负担在很大程度上被传染病所掩盖，但同样严重，需要紧急关注。在非传染性疾病负担日益加重的低收入和中等收入国家，培养应对这一流行病的政治意愿至关重要。世界卫生组织敦促成员国加强努力，应对非传染性疾病的负担。通过与撒哈拉以南非洲地区知名领导人的便利讨论，美国癌症协会和国际健康促进与教育联盟讨论了支持将疾病纳入非传染性疾病框架的促进因素、障碍和行动机制。确定了对后续步骤的看法，包括收集信息、进行监测和宣传培训，以强调成功应对这一流行病所需的承诺和资源。
Largely overshadowed by infectious disease, the global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is equally as serious and requires urgent attention. Fostering political will to address this pandemic in low- and middle-income countries where the burden of NCD is accelerating is essential. The World Health Organization urges member states to strengthen efforts to address the burden of NCD. Through facilitated discussions with prominent leaders in sub-Saharan Africa, the American Cancer Society and the International Union of Health Promotion and Education addressed facilitators, barriers and mechanisms for action to support integration of diseases into an NCD framework. Viewpoints on next steps, including gathering information, conducting surveillance and training on advocacy, were identified to emphasize the commitment and resources necessary to succeed against this pandemic.
