⏱️ Every two seconds, one person under the age of 70 dies of a noncommunicable disease (NCD) such as heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes.

Did you know? Almost 9 in 10 of those deaths are taking place in low- and middle-income countries 👉 bit.ly/UNGAHLM4 #BeatNCDs #UNGA
