The importance of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) to global health has gained increased recognition since the early 1990's, and has been accompanied by calls for a stronger policy response. It is increasingly clear that aging populations, rising incomes, and increased exposure to risk factors are contributing to patterns of illness, disability and premature death due to NCDs that merit greater policy attention than they have received in the past. This report is an Agenda for Action in response to the growing economic, social and health problems posed by NCDs. The report has a dual

Las enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT) son la principal causa de muerte en los paises de ingresos medios-bajos, medios-altos y altos; para 2015 lo seran tambien en los paises de ingresos bajos. En adicion a la mortalidad, las ENT representan cerca de la mitad de la carga de enfermedad medida en anos de vida ajustados por discapacidad (DALY) en los paises de ingresos bajos y medios, y se proyectan grandes aumentos en los DALY relacionados con las ENT. Para responder a este reto, los gobiernos deberan disenar e implementar politicas economicas, sociales y de salud con las cuales se trabaje en las relaciones existentes entre las ENT y la pobreza, y minimizar las perdidas economicas y en salud de la poblacion. Las politicas publicas y el reto de las enfermedades cronicas no transmisibles ofrece un marco de referencia util para los gobiernos en la formulacion de sus estrategias. Los autores senalan que la respuesta politica mas efectiva sera dual: desarrollar programas para evitar tanto como sea posible la amenazadora carga de enfermedad de las ENT-por ejemplo, mediante intervenciones en salud publica y mejores servicios de salud- y simultaneamente prepararse para atender el sistema de salud y las presiones economicas que se originaran con el incremento de las ENT a causa del envejecimiento de las poblaciones. Este libro interesara a los gobiernos, organizaciones internacionales, universidades e institutos de investigacion, concentrandose en los servicios de salud, politicas economicas, salud publica y estrategias de reduccion de la pobreza.
