Summary

We discuss the role of NCDs in the development goal discourse, especially how NCDs fit into the overall health goal and why it is essential to have an NCD target in order to meet Goal 3 of the proposed SDGs: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. The interventions presented and analyzed here will reduce mortality by 28.5% in 2030, primarily from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, as well as some cancers.
