Background

  • Be He@lthy Be Mobile (https://www.who.int/initiatives/behealthy) is a joint initiative between the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) on digital health and noncommunicable diseases.

  • Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) cause 75% of non pandemic deaths in the world. NCDs include cardiovascular diseases (heart disease and stroke), cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, as well as mental health conditions.

  • All countries have committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include a target to reduce premature death from NCDs by a third by 2030. This could save millions of lives, but few countries are on track to achieve the target.

  • BHBM is going through a refresh to better support Member States to reach their SDG targets.

  • As we refine our future plans, your input will be valuable in shaping how we can best support countries in utilizing digital tools for NCD prevention and management. We appreciate your time in filling out this brief survey, which should take no more than 2 minutes.
