In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) endorsed the Global Action Plan for the Prevention & Control of NCDs to address the rising burden of NCDs globally. The goal of the action plan is to reduce the preventable and avoidable burden of morbidity, mortality and disability due to NCDs by means of multi-sectoral collaboration and cooperation at national, regional and global levels, so populations reach the highest attainable standards of health and productivity at every age and NCDs are no longer a barrier to well-being or socioeconomic development.
