Resumen
Descripción
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)
hamper the development of human capital for current and
future generations. NCDs are chronic conditions that are
often untreatable and require close monitoring to control
the progression of the disease. They account for 70 percent
of all deaths worldwide and directly affect countries’
economies, as every 10 percent increase in mortality due to
NCDs reduces economic growth by 0.5 percent. NCDs have a
direct and indirect impact that threatens the human capital
of current and future generations.
