NCDs affect more than 2 billion children and adolescents each year.

In a new letter, authors call for a shift from generalised #NCD strategies to specific, child-centred commitments backed by:
➡️ Global frameworks
➡️ Measurable targets
➡️ Long-term investment

🔗 tinyurl.com/3ryn7w74

Quote from a correspondence published in The Lancet entitled 'Improving survival and reducing suffering for children with NCDs.' Quote reads: [The Fourth High-level Meeting of the UN General Assembly6 on the prevention and control of NCDs] is an opportunity to galvanise a global movement for children with chronic and catastrophic diseases, especially cancers and sickle cell disease, and ensure they are no longer left behind.
