2023 was a landmark year for global health, with an unprecedented three UNGA High-Level Meetings focused on health issues - universal health coverage, tuberculosis, and pandemic preparedness and response. NCDs were addressed at all of these meetings, reflecting not only the rising importance of health on the global agenda but also the centrality of NCDs to other global health priorities.

Now at the mid-point of our long-term strategy 2021-2026, we are seeing results from our work across our four thematic impact goals – prevention, care, financing and community engagement – as NCDs climb higher on the global agenda and people living with NCDs are taking on a growing role in the policy decisions that affect their health. This annual report contains a sample of these results, highlighting progress and achievements from across the year.
