Abstract

From 2019 to 2021 the Gulf Health Council (GHC) together with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), World Health Organization (WHO) and UN Inter-Agency Task Force on NCDs (UNIATF) developed six non-communicable disease (NCD) investment cases in the each of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The investment cases examined both the health and economic burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), as well as the benefits and returns on investment for implementing four packages of WHOrecommended interventions including the ‘best-buys’, or highly cost-effective interventions. This report summarizes findings from the investment cases and – through interviews with the six ministries of health (MOH) – identifies priority actions to further reduce the health and economic impact of NCDs across the GCC countries.
