It's Global Week for Action on #NCDs! Do have a look at the WHO's Knowledge Action Portal for fantastic resources! Globally, #NCDs account for 74% of deaths, but in conflict-affected countries like Ukraine and Syria, the numbers are even more staggering, with NCDs responsible for 92% and 75% of mortality, respectively. Conditions such as heart disease and diabetes compound the challenges faced by vulnerable populations, placing additional strain on already fragile healthcare systems.
