Your assistance is urgently needed. On May 13th 2010, the UN General Assembly unanimously passed Resolution 64/265 on the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), calling for a UN Summit on NCDs to be held in September 2011. In total, 130 states cosponsored the resolution, signalling that the world has recognized the urgency and priority of addressing the growing threat posed by and other NCDs.
The next five weeks will be a critical period in determining the success of this Summit.
UN country Ambassadors in New York are currently in the process of drafting a ‘Modalities Resolution’, that will determine the length, outcomes and other key details of the UN Summit that will determine if this meeting is the major turning point for global action against NCDs we urgently need./.../
