The global impact of NCDs is profound, affecting individuals, families, and economies. NCDs not only cause significant morbidity and mortality but also lead to substantial economic costs due to healthcare expenses and lost productivity. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the need for a coordinated global response to tackle NCDs through the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs 2013-2020, which aims to reduce the burden of these diseases by promoting international collaboration.
