Political Declaration on NCDs• Note further that there is a range of other non-communicable
diseases and conditions, for which the risk factors and the need for preventive measures, screening, treatment and care are linked with the four most prominent non-communicable diseases
• Recognize that mental and neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, are an important cause of morbidity and contribute to the global non-communicable disease burden, for which there is a need to provide equitable access to effective programmes and health-care interventions

Message from the President of the UN General Assembly, HE Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser to all UN agencies, 8 December 2012�
• The political will expressed at the HLM was a major breakthrough achieved by the international community in protecting the world’s most vulnerable populations
• While we continue to remain targeted and vigilant ... I believe the definition of NCDs should be broadened
• Today our attention is focused on just a few diseases, thereby denying attention and help to tackling no less fatal diseases of the body and mind
• Mental health, including depression, is one such under-addressed disease and remains a threat to health and well-being worldwide
• As operational experts, your understanding, perspective and efforts would contribute to advancing this issue
