"Noncommunicable diseases are now the leading cause of premature death, not just in #Oman, but globally.
Every year, 41 million people die from:
heart attacks
stroke
cancer
chronic respiratory diseases
diabetes or
a mental disorder.
That’s over 70% of all deaths 
"-@DrTedrospic.twitter.com/DprvAMNnyH
"This is not only devastating from a human point of view. It also has a crippling economic impact, both in terms of the costs of treating people with long-term illnesses, and in terms of lost productivity"-@DrTedros #BeatNCDspic.twitter.com/R7IDSGd537
"We have all been touched by noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Many of us are ourselves survivors, or are currently battling an NCD. All of us have lost someone we love to one of these diseases"-@DrTedros #BeatNCDspic.twitter.com/CDvek2PiFk
"In 2015, world leaders committed to reduce premature deaths from noncommunicable diseases by 1/3 by 2030.
We have just 10 years to fulfill that commitment.
How are we going?
Not well. On current trends, only 40 countries will reach the target"-@DrTedrospic.twitter.com/UcBz5kSs8R
"The tragedy is that much of this suffering is totally preventable.
Stop tobacco use.
Reduce salt intake.
Consume less sugar.
Increase physical activity.
Eliminate industrial trans-fats.
Treat more people for high blood pressure"-@DrTedros #BeatNCDspic.twitter.com/HcRRhBwPT0
"WHO estimates that every 1 U.S. dollar invested in these interventions will yield a return of at least 7 dollars by 2030. In total they could generate 350 billion U.S. dollars in economic growth globally"-@DrTedros #BeatNCDspic.twitter.com/y0jjJG5uTZ
"No country can simply treat its way out of this crisis. That’s why #PrimaryHealthCare is so important. It helps to keep people healthy and out of hospitals, where the costs are higher and the outcomes can often be worse"-@DrTedros #BeatNCDspic.twitter.com/RSiL7Kibpn
"Over 80% of all health needs can be addressed with quality, people-centred, primary health care services. And yet today, at least half the world’s population lacks access to essential health services. By 2030, that number could balloon to 5 billion people"-@DrTedros #BeatNCDspic.twitter.com/fmOAiY4RRj
"Even when services are available, using them can spell 
disaster for individuals & families. That’s why #HealthForAll is WHO’s top priority. Our vision is a world in which all people receive the health services they need, without facing financial hardship"-@DrTedros #BeatNCDspic.twitter.com/mSX6MjIkXb
"Universal health coverage is the best way to ensure people receive the services they need to prevent, diagnose and treat noncommunicable diseases – and all diseases"-@DrTedros #BeatNCDs #HealthForAllpic.twitter.com/Xp9oXY0DrE
, For all this... we Africans we’re still suffering from triple burden (NCDs, CDs and Injuries). You’ve done the needful In terms of communicable diseases, but so much lapses in Non communicable diseases, coz NCDs are the major killer even in African countries
