National averages hide who carries the burden of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and chronic lung disease. WHO's State of inequality report, its fullest country-level assessment yet, shows how these diseases and their risks vary within countries.

Launch of WHO global report “State of inequality: noncommunicable diseases and their risk factors”
How do noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors vary across population groups within countries, and what can governments do to ensure that no one is left behind?As countries work towards global NCD targets, understanding who is most affected is critical for effective action. Evidence on inequalities can help strengthen the design and implementation of NCD policies and programmes, enabling countries to better target prevention and care, improve health outcomes, and ensure that progress reaches populations experiencing the greatest disadvantage.The forthcoming World Health...
