UN Health Pact: Turning Point for Chronic Diseases

 

In a historic move, the UN has adopted a global pact addressing noncommunicable diseases and mental health. The pact emphasizes prevention, treatment, and rights-based care, acknowledging the long-overlooked impact of conditions like heart disease, cancer, and depression. This agreement represents a major shift in global health priorities, with the potential to improve health services and policies in both high- and low-income countries.
