N2 - Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health made it a priority to conduct the NCD investment case presented here, which provides evidence that NCDs reduce economic output and that Qatar would benefit from investing in four policy intervention packages that reduce exposure to behavioural risk factors (tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity). It also examines investments in key clinical interventions for the most prevalent NCDs – cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The findings show that addressing NCDs is a matter of urgency to ensure significant social and economic returns.
