Global Challenge: Non-Communicable Diseases 3
Introduction
Globally, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) relate for more than 60 percent of
mortalities and more than 67% of these deaths are more prevalent in low-and middle-income
countries (LMICs). NCDs-primarily cardiovascular disease, cancer disease, diabetes, and chronic
respiratory illness-are considerable global health along with development problem around the
world. NCDs are particular utmost cause of avoidable disease, disability, as well as mortality
globally, liable for more deaths than all other causes united. The social plus economic effects of
non-communicable diseases are considerable. These diseases lower global along with economic
yield, strain healthcare systems, burden susceptible families, put human rights at danger, as well
as obstruct development on each Millennium Development Goal. NCDs are unevenly distributed
amongst and in nations (Bloom, 2011, pp. 27). Lower-income nations experience huge burdens,
particularly disproportionately greater rates of non-communicable disease -related early deaths.
These nations have lower capabilities to respond, as well as they concurrently challenge the
continuing communicable diseases burden. The current prevention along with control efforts
depend mainly on individual behaviour/lifestyle strategies, which stress the burden of liability
for health of an individual. Thus, these strategies have not clogged the growing trend of non-
communicable diseases globally (Mamudu, 2014, pp. 535). The paper will examine the challenge
of NCDs, strategic policy framework, challenges and recommendations for effective control of
NCDs (Glasgow & Schrecker, 2015, pp. 280).
