Conclusion
1. CVD (and other NCDs) are a huge barrier to human and economic development,
in the past neglected by the development agenda...
2. We cannot reduce NCDs without substantially reducing CVD
3. FCTC implementation and health system strengthening are the two priorities for
reducing CVD.
4. The NCD targets and SDGs offer an unprecedented opportunity mandate for
countries to tackle CVD.
