The #NCD crisis is compounded by poverty & poses a huge development challenge. It will not be possible to achieve the #SDGs without a widespread effort to combat NCDs. Only some 2 % of all global health-related development aid goes to the prevention and control of NCDs.

Excellent news from Nepal! Delighted to learn about this @noradno @WHO project for strengthening delivery of health services in #mentalhealth and other non-communicable diseases in #Nepal. #Norway is proud to financially support this program and the global battle against #NCD

For too long mental health has been a neglected aspect of the development agenda. Norway is the 1st country in the world with a strategy to include #NoncommunicableDisease in its international development policy. #WorldMentalHealthDay #NCD @WHO https://t.co/5KgXeIg4UN https://t.co/yy3BsJBXX4

Ikke-smittsomme sykdommer tar samlet flest liv i verden. Derfor er anerkjennelsen av Norges strategi for bekjempelse av slike sykdommer i fattige land viktig. #NCD #WHO
