Mandat

La Déclaration politique de la troisième réunion de haut niveau de l’Assemblée générale sur la prévention et la maîtrise des maladies non transmissibles (résolution A/RES/73/2) autorise le Président de l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies à convoquer la quatrième réunion de haut niveau sur les MNT en 2025. La portée, les modalités, le format et l’organisation de la réunion de haut niveau sur les MNT, y compris les dates, seront convenus par les États Membres dans une résolution distincte, qui sera négociée à une date plus proche de la réunion.

Quels sont les enjeux?

Toutes les deux secondes, une personne de moins de 70 ans meurt des suites d’une maladie non transmissible.

Toutes les deux secondes, une personne de moins de 70 ans meurt des suites d’une maladie non transmissible - notamment les maladies cardiovasculaires, le cancer, le diabète et les maladies respiratoires chroniques - ou d’un trouble de la santé mentale. La plupart de ces décès auraient pu être évités au moyen de services de soins de santé préventifs, curatifs et palliatifs complets, intégrés, en temps voulu, accessibles et adaptés au contexte, et de mesures stratégiques, législatives et réglementaires.   

Quatre-vingt-six pour cent de ces vies perdues prématurément surviennent dans des pays à faible revenu et à revenu intermédiaire où l’environnement social, économique et physique offre nettement moins de protection contre les risques et les conséquences des MNT que dans les pays à revenu élevé. Il s’agit notamment d’une protection insuffisante contre les facteurs de risque tels que le tabagisme, l’usage nocif de l’alcool, de mauvaises habitudes alimentaires, le manque d’activité physique et l’exposition à la pollution atmosphérique.

L’opportunité

Dans la perspective de la quatrième réunion de haut niveau, l’OMS exhorte chaque pays, organisation non gouvernementale (ONG), entité, citoyen et personne vivant avec une MNT à soutenir les efforts locaux et mondiaux visant à atteindre l’ensemble des neuf cibles volontaires définies par l’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé en 2013 pour 2025, mesurées par rapport à un niveau de référence de 2010. Cela permettra aux pays d’atteindre la cible 3.4 des ODD (d’ici à 2030, réduire d’un tiers, par la prévention et le traitement, le taux de mortalité prématurée due à des maladies non transmissibles et promouvoir la santé mentale et le bien-être), mesuré par rapport à un niveau de référence de 2025.

L’OMS encourage également tous les pays à mettre en œuvre les engagements pris par les pays lors des trois réunions de haut niveau sur les MNT en 2011, 2014 et 2018 - et exhorte tous les donateurs à augmenter les contributions financières et techniques indispensables à la prévention et à la lutte contre les MNT par des canaux bilatéraux et multilatéraux, y compris le programme de l’OMS sur les MNT et les fonds d’affectation spéciale pertinents qui ont été créés.

Dans la perspective de la quatrième réunion de haut niveau de l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies, qui se tiendra en 2025 pour réduire le risque de décès prématuré dû aux maladies non transmissibles et sauver des vies, n’oublions pas que chacun d’entre nous a un rôle à jouer dans ce processus. Aujourd’hui et chaque jour, concrétisons les engagements pris en 2018 pour couvrir progressivement davantage de personnes vivant avec une MNT ou exposées à un risque de MNT au moyen de services de santé et de médicaments, et les protéger contre l’exposition aux principaux facteurs de risque.

WHO preparatory process

The preparatory process will include high-level global and technical meetings, expert committees and consultations cosponsored by WHO and relevant partners, which may serve as technical inputs into the negotiations among Member States on the outcome document.

Please note that any inquiry should be sent to OnTheRoadTo2025@who.int 

How to get involved

What is PAHO’s role in the lead-up to the 4th UN HLM?

PAHO is actively involved in the preparatory process for HLM4, coordinating with the global activities led by WHO headquarters. In 2024, virtual meetings were held with national NCD program managers to review progress towards the NCD targets, and in March 2025, a regional NCD meeting will be held with national NCD program managers to continue to discuss how to accelerate progress towards the NCD targets. 


PAHO is also calling for ‘Best Practices in NCDs’ to create a collection of successful NCD interventions according to the PAHO Best Practices standards. The selected best practices will be presented on PAHO’s webpage, social media, and at the PAHO side event at the UNHLM.
