UHC will not be achieved so long as half of adults living with diabetes are undiagnosed and unable to access insulin.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Population coverage: Yet people in marginalised communities have a higher risk of dying from NCDs than the general population. UHC will not be achieved so long as we accept that 85% of premature deaths from NCDs occur in LMICs.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Financial coverage: Yet globally, financing for NCDs has been stagnant over the last thirty years leaving people living with NCDs feeling the financial burden. UHC will not be achieved unless we break the cycle of generational poverty caused by NCDs.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023 we call for Member States to stand by their commitments to UHC by:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf INVESTING in, financing and accelerating inclusion of, essential NCD services, including for circulatory diseases, across the continuum of care (including prevention, screening, diagnosis, acute and long-term treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care) and across the life-course in national UHC health benefits packages &#8211; guided by the WHO Global NCD Action Plan \u201cBest Buys\u201d\/Appendix 3,<br \/>\nthe HEARTS Technical Package and considering all healthcare providers. 90% of essential interventions for UHC can be delivered through PHC.<br \/>\n\u25cf ALIGNING global and national development and health priorities to achieve UHC, breaking down siloed approaches to funding and implementation in health systems.<br \/>\n\u25cf ENGAGING people living with NCDs to keep UHC people-centered, including by formalising opportunities for meaningful involvement of civil society in UHC governance and decision-making roles for policies and services.<\/p>\n<p>NCDs are a national issue, a global development issue, an equity issue.
