“…In these countries, the median age of the population is increasing, and much of the health burden is already attributable to noncommunicable diseases. 55 However, development assistance for health in these nations continues to be earmarked for HIV/AIDS (25 percent) and maternal and childhood health (29 percent).…”

Demographic and epidemiological changes are shifting the disease burden from communicable to noncommunicable diseases in lower-income countries. Within a generation, the share of disease burden attributed to noncommunicable diseases in some poor countries will exceed 80 percent, rivaling that of rich countries, but this burden is likely to affect much younger people in poorer countries. The health systems of lower-income countries are unprepared for this change. We examined the shift to noncommunicable diseases and estimated preparedness for the shift by ranking 172 nations using a health system capacity index for noncommunicable disease. We project that the countries with the greatest increases in the share of disease burden attributable to noncommunicable disease over the next twenty-five years will also be the least prepared for the change, as they ranked low on our capacity index and are expected to have the smallest increases in national health spending. National governments and donors must invest more in preparing the health systems of lower-income countries for the dramatic shift to noncommunicable diseases and in reducing modifiable noncommunicable disease risks.

“…There appears to be little urgency in the global development community to include NCDIs in its agenda to prevent deaths among the poorest children and young adults. 244 In the aftermath of the 2019 UN High-Level Meeting on UHC —with its renewed global commitment “to meet the health needs of all throughout the life course, and in particular those who are vulnerable or in vulnerable situations”— 245 we hope that this Commission, with its associated National Commissions and partners, can help make addressing NCDI Poverty a priority in the SDG era.…”

Recognizing that the dignity of the human person is fundamental, we wish to see the goals and targets met for all nations and peoples and for all segments of society. And we will endeavour to reach the furthest behind first."Transforming our world: the 2030 agenda for sustainable development 1

“…21 For policy makers, this has ethical and economic implications for prioritization of funding, such that health care funding could then be more likely to target diseases that affect younger people. 95 Age weighting may in fact be redundant given that analyses for younger individuals will inherently emphasize LYs lost that are proportional to their age. 96 As no consensus has been reached regarding the use of age weighting, the WHO recommends analysts consider the appropriateness of age weights according to their study design.…”

Clinicians seek to pursue the most clinically effective treatment strategies, but costs have also become a key determinant in contemporary health care. Economic analyses have thus emerged as a valuable resource to both quantify and qualify the value of existing and emerging interventions and programs. Cost-effectiveness analyses estimate the benefits gained per monetary unit, providing insights to guide resource allocation. Herein, we delineate the related concepts and considerations to facilitate understanding and appraisal of these analyses, so as to better inform the stakeholders in our otolaryngology community.
