Abstract
There is evidence that if the current trend in the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) burden continues, the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.4 - to reduce premature mortality from NCDs by a third by 2030 - will not be met in most countries.1 As stroke and other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide contributing the most to the NCDs mortality in nearly every country, SDG target 3.4 cannot be achieved without substantial reduction in the burden of stroke and other CVDs.
