The senior director of health at the WEF, Olivier Raynaud, commented on the severity of this problem.
“Until now, we've been unable to put a figure on what the World Heath Organization calls the 'world's biggest killers'.”
Raynaud added: “The numbers indicate that non-communicable diseases have the potential to not only bankrupt health systems, but to also put a brake on the global economy.”
But the World Health Organization (WHO) states that it is entirely possible for each of these diseases to be treated, and even prevented, at a cost of around $1.20 per person.
The assistant director-general for non-communicable diseases and mental health at the WHO put it into perspective.
“Non-communicable disease are the leading cause of death worldwide, killing ever more people each year. This study proves that there are affordable steps all governments can take to address non-communicable diseases.”
Currently, global disease kill approximately 36 million people each year.
