We work with partners to deliver proven tools—including vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics—as well as discover pathbreaking new solutions that are affordable and reliable. Equally important is innovation in how we bring health interventions to those who need them most. We invest heavily in vaccines to prevent infectious diseases—including HIV, polio, and malaria—and support the development of integrated health solutions for family planning, nutrition, and maternal and child health.

Non-communicable diseases—neglected diseases in global health work?
Extract:
Consequently, also financial aid to global health activities has much increased. Much of this goes to programmes on infectious diseases or other traditional health issues—many of them in form of vertical disease specific actions. Very little, i.e. less than 3% of the global development assistance for health, goes to prevention and control of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs).1
This is in sharp contrast to the observations on how global health is rapidly changing. Although many infectious diseases and other traditional health issues, like child and maternal mortality, remain serious problems and should be vigorously addressed, NCDs have started to dominate global public health.2

Review Article: Noncommunicable Diseases
Abstract
The United Nations has held only two meetings of heads of state on a health-related issue. The first, in 2001, was on human immunodeficiency virus infection and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The second, in September 2011, was on noncommunicable diseases. Although noncommunicable diseases were ignored during the framing of the Millennium Development Goals in 2000, their leading and growing contribution to preventable deaths and disability across the globe has compelled policymakers to pay attention and initiate action. The United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) have called for a 25% reduction by 2025 in mortality from noncommunicable diseases among persons between 30 and 70 years of age, in comparison with mortality in 2010, adopting the slogan “25 by 25.”1,2 We review the burden of noncommunicable diseases and issues in prevention, detection, and treatment that must be addressed in order to meet this goal.

Suicide mortality in India: a nationally representative survey
Examines quantative data suggesting that WHO suicide estimations underestimate prevalence in India. Suicide death rates in India are among the highest in the world. A large proportion of adult suicide deaths occur between the ages of 15 years and 29 years, especially in women. Public health interventions such as restrictions in access to pesticides might prevent many suicide deaths in India. This is not an analysis of the underlying socio-economic causes of suicide.

The Lancet: Non-Communicable Diseases Series 2013

The aim of the new Series is to set out clear plans for countrywide implementation of NCD plans in the post-MDG era, towards the unified goal of '25 by 25'—reducing NCD mortality worldwide by 2025.
