Michael R. Bloomberg was reappointed as WHO Global Ambassador for Noncommunicable Diseases and Injuries. \u201cNoncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic lung disease, and cancer are the world\u2019s biggest silent killers \u2013 but they can often be prevented with investment in proven, cost-effective interventions. I look forward to continuing to make life-saving investments in NCD and injury prevention alongside Dr Tedros and the WHO.\u201d said Mr. Bloomberg, Founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHO\u2019s new report, \u201cInvisible Numbers: The true scale of noncommunicable diseases<\/a>,\u201d highlights the extent of global NCD burden, risk factors, and the efforts to combat these diseases and conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
