Abstract

A “Aliança DCNT” (“NCD Alliance”)1 visa colocar as doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) na agenda global de saúde, a fim de enfrentar a chamada “crise das DCNT”. Melhorar os indicadores de morbidade e mortalidade em 2015 dependerá, em grande medida, da prevenção e controle das DCNT, especialmente nos países em desenvolvimento2.
