Publication date: 2018
This publication explains that now is the time for government leaders to deliver on their time-bound promise to, by 2030, reduce, by one third, premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) through prevention and treatment, and promote mental health and well-being. Without significant investments now, 15 million people will continue to die each year from NCDs in the prime of their lives, between the ages of 30 and 70.

This publication encourages Heads of State and Government to intensify efforts during the next 3–5 years to put their country on track to attain SDG target 3.4 on NCDs and mental health.
