Plan of Action for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases in the Americas 2013-2019
Abstract
This Plan of Action is for the period 2013–2019 and corresponds to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases for 2012–2025, endorsed in 2012 by the Pan American Sanitary Conference along with a regional framework for prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). It proposes actions on NCDs by the Pan American Sanitary Bureau (PASB) and by Member States that take into account regional and subregional initiatives, contexts, and achievements and follow the 2014 2019 timeline of the PAHO Strategic Plan. At the same time it aligns with the World Health Organization (WHO) NCD Global Monitoring Framework and Global Action Plan 2013-2020.
