Background Noncommunicable Diseases (ncds) Are The Leading Causes Of Death And Disability In The Western Pacific Region (wpr) And Are A Major Threat To Development. The Four Main Ncds - Cardiovascular Diseases, Cancer, Chronic Respiratory Disease And Diabetes, Were Responsible For 86% Of All Deaths And 74.4% Of Premature Deaths In 2016. The Ncd Epidemic Affects All Countries, But Low- And Middle-income Countries Suffer A Heavier Impact Due To Limited Resources To Prevent, Diagnose And Treat These Diseases. To Address The Increasing Ncd Burden And Reduce Premature Deaths From These Diseases, Who Developed The Global Action Plan For The Prevention And Control Of Noncommunicable Diseases 2013-2030 (ncd-gap) And The Western Pacific Regional Action Plan For The Prevention And Control Of Noncommunicable Diseases 2014-2030 (ncd Rap). The Lancet Report “ncd Countdown 2020” Highlights That Only 3 Countries In The Western Pacific Region Is On Par To Reach Sdg 3.4 Which Is To Reduce Premature Mortality Due To Ncds. While All Countries Have Implemented Programs And Activities To Control Ncds; The Overall Progress Has Been Uneven And Inadequate To Achieve Sdg 3.4. A Regional Vision Paper ‘for The Future: Towards The Healthiest And Safest Region’ Endorsed At The 70th Regional Committee Meeting, Presents “ncds And Ageing” As One Of The Four Thematic Priorities Of The Region And Articulates Calls From Member States For A New Approach In Addressing Ncds. It Delineates Three Related Areas Of Ncd Work Where Systematic, Strategic And Systems Approaches To Accelerate Progress In The Region Will Need To Be Defined: (1) Surveillance; (2) Upstream Determinants; And, (3) Individual Services.
