Later this month the UN General Assembly will hold a high level meeting on global action on non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, which are responsible for two-thirds of deaths worldwide.

They will release an agreed declaration that is meant to pave the way to reducing the number of premature deaths from non-communicable diseases ? or NCDs - the vast majority of which take place in poorer countries.
