      The article focuses on the proposed actions to the increasing global crisis for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as a barrier for development such as stroke, diabetes, and cancer. It mentions the United Nations (UN) High-Level Meeting on NCDS in September 2011, which aims to reduce poverty, acquire economic stability, and ensure human security. It presents the five priority interventions in response to the development goals by the Lancet NCD Action Group and the NCD Alliance.
