\nWorld Health Assembly
\nItem 11.8 Follow-up to the high-level meetings of the United Nations General Assembly on
\nhealth-related issues \u2013 Prevention and control of NCDs
\nHonorable Chairperson, Distinguished delegates,
\nThank you for the opportunity to speak on behalf of the World Medical Association (WMA), which
\nrepresents more than 9 million physicians from over 110 countries across the globe.
\nWe would like to thank WHO for the report of the third High level meeting on the Prevention and
\nControl of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), whereas it encompasses all the aspects of scaling
\nup the multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder responses, in the context of meeting target 3.4 of the
\n2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDG3).
\nThe WMA agrees with the report\u2019s recognition that the world has yet to fulfil its promise of
\nimplementing at all levels, accelerating the progress and broadening the scope of its commitments.
\nThe voice of doctors is important in raising awareness on prevention and on the individual
\nbehaviours and risk factors. Additional physicians play an important role in addressing the social
\nand economic circumstances that give rise to premature ill health, throughout the life course. The
\nWMA notes that it can gather examples of good practice from its members and promote further
\nwork in this area. In this respect, strong and balanced health workforce has the pivotal role in the
\ndelivery of the SDG3.
\nWe recognize the need for strengthening health systems, tackling with the lack of health
\nprofessionals and enabling safe working conditions, as a key component of national health plans in
\nthe delivery of SDG3. Furthermore, we identify the need for strong supply chains of procurement
\nthat increase access to essential medicines needed for control of NCDs.
\nTherefore, we call upon the WHO and Member States to consider the need of many countries for
\ncatalytic funding to accelerate this work, although domestic resources should be the mainstay of
\naction on NCDs, as in many societies, the burden of NCDs follows the social gradient.
\nThank you
\n***<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"
