Health in the 21st Century needs an upgrade

Since the creation of the Millennium Development Goals, humanity has made huge progress against problems like HIV, TB and Malaria. Today, the burden of disease is changing. The health challenges of the 21st Century are complex and interconnected: chronic disease; mental health; antimicrobial resistance; ageing populations; pandemics; climate change and more. The solutions to these era-defining problems lie beyond the remit of our global health institutions alone.

Chronic diseases are chronically underfunded

Developing countries face a rising wave of chronic diseases (NCDs) related to tobacco, alcohol, industrially processed foods and fossil fuels. NCDs already account for over 60% of the global burden of disease, but they receive just 2-3% of development assistance for health each year.

It pays to tackle NCDs, when we connect the dots

In an interconnected world, we all stand to benefit from each other's health - and we are all paying a price for chronic diseases. NCDs are estimated to cost the global economy over $2 trillion per annum (World Economic Forum):

People living shorter, poorer lives
Businesses facing workforce shortages and reduced productivity due to long-term sickness
Health systems and insurers paying out for avoidable treatments
Governments with lower tax revenues and more demand on social programmes

Everyone benefits whenever someone reduces this problem. So let's connect the dots with a system that rewards funders and implementers for their positive impact.
