Report of the WHO independent high-level commission on NCDs: where is the focus on addressing inequalities? | Journal Article / Commentary | MSF Science Portal
Abstract
• The current WHO independent high-level commission on non-communicable diseases’ report lacks clear focus on addressing the issues of inequalities in non-communicable diseases.
• Much stronger recommendations are needed to ensure appropriate investment in strengthening and improving the quality of health systems, especially at primary healthcare.
• Governments, the private sector and other actors all need to be involved in finding sustainable solutions to ensure access to medicines and technologies for non-communicable diseases.
• Non-communicable diseases in humanitarian emergencies need to be included in any global guidance on the issue.
• In all contexts allocation of resources needs to optimise access for long-term care and treatment, paired with population-wide prevention efforts in order to guarantee universal health coverage.
