NCD Targets
Table 1. Targets for South-East Asia Region NCD implementation roadmap 2022–2030
Regional NCD action plan indicator | Global targets 2025 (a) | Global targets (extended and updated) for 2030 and rationale (b) | Regional targets 2030 |
---|---|---|---|
(i) A relative reduction in premature mortality from cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, or chronic respiratory diseases | 25% | DG target on NCDs with 2015 as the baseline and an extrapolation of the 25% relative reduction to 2030 making it 33.3%. | 33.3% |
(ii) A relative reduction in the harmful use of alcohol | 10% | Updated in the Global strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol (WHA) with baseline of 2010 | 20% |
(iii) A relative reduction in prevalence of current tobacco use in persons aged over 15 years | 30% | Unchanged | 30% |
(iv) A relative reduction in prevalence of insufficient physical activity | 10% | Target extended to a 15% relative reduction in prevalence of insufficient physical activity by 2030 as part of the Global action plan on physical activity adopted at WHA May 2018 | 15% |
(v) A relative reduction in mean population intake of salt/sodium | 30% | Unchanged | 30% |
(vi) A relative reduction in prevalence of raised blood pressure | 25% | Unchanged | 25% |
(vii) Halt the rise in obesity and diabetes | Keep the rates of 2010 | Unchanged | Keep the rates of 2010 |
(viii) A relative reduction in the proportion of households using solid fuels (woods, crop residue, dried dung, coal, and charcoal) as the primary source of cooking | 50% | Unchanged | 50% |
(ix) Eligible people receive drug therapy and counselling (including glycaemic control) to prevent heart attack and strokes | 50% | Target unchanged. New indicator is updated to reflect new CVD risk projection charts: Proportion of eligible persons (defined as aged 40 years and older with a 10-year cardiovascular risk ≥20%, including those with existing cardiovascular disease) receiving drug therapy and counselling (including glycaemic control) to prevent heart attacks and strokes | 50% reflecting the change in threshold |
(x) Availability of affordable basic technologies and essential medicines, including generics, required to treat major NCDs in both public and private facilities | 80% | Unchanged | 80% |

Table 2. Disease-specific targets agreed at global level
Disease | Targets |
---|---|
Diabetes | Targets to be achieved by 2030 (24)
|
Cervical cancer | To eliminate cervical cancer, all countries must reach and maintain an incidence rate of below four per 100 000 women. Achieving that goal rests on three key pillars and their corresponding targets (25):
Each country should meet the 90–70–90 targets by 2030 to get on the path to eliminate cervical cancer within the next century |
Childhood cancer | To achieve at least a 60% survival and to reduce suffering for all children with cancer by 2030 (26) |
