Noncommunicable Diseases Progress Monitor 2022

2022

This report from the World Health Organization (WHO) provides an overview of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide. The four main noncommunicable diseases - cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases - account for 74% of global deaths. This report provides data on ten indicators for NCD progress monitoring, including reducing NCD deaths, tobacco demand reduction measures, measures to reduce harmful alcohol use, and strengthening health systems through primary health care and universal health coverage (UHC).

The introduction (p. 1-3) provides information on the ten noncommunicable disease progress monitoring indicators.

The explanatory notes (p. 4-7) provide a framework for reading the country profiles and explain where data is derived from and calculated.

The remainder of the report (p. 9-203) is country profiles. The profiles present data for each country’s achievement of the ten NCD progress monitoring indicators. The profiles also include demographic information for each country, the number of NCD deaths, and the risk of premature death from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory diseases.
