Progress in the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases in the Pacific region is inadequate to meet the Sustainable Development Goal target of a 30% reduction in premature mortality by 2030.
Highlights the inadequate progress in preventing and managing non-communicable diseases in the Pacific region, threatening the achievement of the 2030 SDG targets.
Despite multiple global and regional commitments and action plans, progress in the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is inadequate.1 Maintaining the current state of affairs means that achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) NCD target, a 30% reduction in premature mortality by 2030, is unlikely.2 The Pacific region is at the centre of the global NCD crisis, which is straining health systems and budgets and diverting scarce resources away from other health and development priorities.
