[Correspondence] Turning the tide on NCDs by engaging the next generation

In The Lancet (July 22, p 346),1 Richard Horton asked why the global health community is failing to effectively respond to the global rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). A number of opportunities for progress were highlighted. Our two organisations, NCDFREE and the Young Professionals Chronic Disease Network (YP-CDN), are firmly committed to tackling the global challenge of NCDs through advocacy and collaboration that leverages the power of young people. We fully support the recommendations outlined by Horton, and these two organisations represent the beginnings of the bold social movement that is so urgently needed.
