Abstract

Emerging Non-communicable diseases burden move United Nation to call for 25% reduction by 2025 in premature mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The World Health Organization (WHO) developed global action plan for prevention and control NCDs, but the countries’ contexts, priorities, and health care system might be different. Therefore, WHO expects from countries to meet national commitments to achieve the 25 by 25 goal through adapted targets and action plan.
In this regards, sustainable high-level political statement plays a key role in rules and regulation support, and multi-sectoral collaborations to NCDs’ prevention and control by considering the sustainable development goals and universal health coverage factors.
Therefore, Iran established the national authority’s structure as Iranian Non Communicable Diseases Committee (INCDC) and developed NCDs’ national action plan through multi-sectoral approach and collaboration researchers and policy makers. Translation Iran’s expertise could be benefit to mobilizing leadership in other countries for practical action to save the millions of peoples.
