Progress in action
The UN Summit on Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) was a global breakthrough for diabetes. At IDF, we say the Summit elevated diabetes and related NCDs onto the global health and development agenda for the first time.
IDF and its sister federations of the NCD Alliance called for the UN Summit on NCDs to deliver on five priorities. We can now clearly see progress in all of these areas outlined below.
Leadership
Ownership of the diabetes problem
Prevention
Tackling risk factors
Treatment
Progress in treatment and care
Monitoring
Historic commitments
International cooperation
Heading the global health agenda
Future
What remains to be done?
