Every year, noncommunicable diseases kill 18 million people under the age of 70. Imagine: that’s the population of Senegal, or the Netherlands, or Cambodia, Guatemala, or Zimbabwe, wiped out every single year.   I thank #Germany for leading the conversation at #WHS2025 on how to #BeatNCDs.

About 1 in 8 people in the world are living with #obesity. It affects: ✳️ the heart ✳️ the liver ✳️ the kidneys ✳️ the joints ✳️ the reproductive system #BeatNCDs #UNGA

@who.int's #UNGA highlight will be the High-Level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) & Mental Health on 25 Sept. NCDs include 7 of the 🌍’s top 10 causes of death. Almost 1 billion people face mental health conditions. Countries that act decisively to #BeatNCDs will save millions of lives.
