New research published by @TheLancet shows taxes can produce major health gains. Important insight as our own Task Force on Fiscal Policy for Health explores the policies that will make the biggest difference. mikebloom.bg/2GA8QCF

Despite long-standing international commitments, progress to reduce #NCDs has been frustratingly slow. How can governments tackle this growing global problem? bit.ly/2q4SQ0t @UNAUK

The #NCDs global strategy endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 2000 remains valid today. I hope we can continue to build on it rather than reinventing the wheel after 18 years of important progress twitter.com/un_ncd/status/…

2. What are the challenges ahead of us in preparing for #HLM3? @WHO / @GHC_IHEID meeting June 2017 identified 6 obstacles where action needs to be reinforced: political choices, #HealthSystems, financing, capacity, opposing forces, global accountability goo.gl/RV3ucd

1. How is #HLM3 on #NCDs different from 2011 & 2014? Occurring at challenging time - we cannot afford to fail: disappointment with slow progress since 2011, #NCDs & #UHC part of #SDGs, #mentalhealth is part of #SDGs 3.4 🎯, increased tension between trade & #PublicHealth

My reflections focused around 3 🔑 questions:
1. How is #HLM3 on #NCDs different from 2011 & 2014?
2. What are the challenges ahead of us in preparing for #HLM3?
3. Will #HLM3 be a tipping point for the global response on prevention & control of #NCDs? twitter.com/mennovanhilten…

If we can ensure, together, that every1, no matter where they live, no matter what their background or income level, has = access to minimum standard of #healthcare, not only do we save lives, but we support productivity of society, & sustainable & equitable development #UHCDay
