Abstract
Highlights
- We propose a central platform for catalyzing actions to address noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
- A global NCD business plan would guide investments in interventions.
- A young professional NCD network would implement and evaluate actions.
- A global action center would steward public, private, and civil society actions.
- A learning laboratory would translate data into high-impact projects.
