Addressing NCD risks and treatment in children, adolescents and youth is an issue of human rights, as well as a priority for health and sustainable human development. Research shows that the reproductive, maternal and newborn child health continuum o ers critical entry points for in uencing NCD risk later in life and the health status of individuals, families, and future generations.
A growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the rising prevalence of disability, and changing global population demographics (including rapidly ageing populations) together pose some of the greatest challenges to sustainable development in the 21st century. These issues impact on quality of life, diminish human dignity, negate human rights, and threaten to reverse the gains made towards creating and sustaining equitable, healthy human development.The determination of the post-2015 development agenda affords an opportunity to ensure a future framework that fully integrates NCDs, that goals and targets drive progress for all people including persons with disabilities, and that a lifecourse and rights-based approach underpins all goals and targets to ensure no one is left behind. Produced in collaboration with Handicap International, HelpAge International, and ADI. (2013)
This policy brief sets out the NCD Alliance’s vision for NCDs and health more broadly in the post-2015 development agenda.
