\"Tracey
\nLast week two very important persons from a big donor agency\u00a0came to visit me in my office in Dhaka. These men have vast experience in global health, and the agency for which they work has helped greatly with improving health and alleviating poverty in the developing world, especially in Bangladesh. I was humbled to have them in my crowded little office. <\/p>\n

We were supposed to talk about health systems and policy research, which we did do as that is the programme that I lead.\u00a0However, we drifted onto the new chronic disease portfolio that I have helped my institution to develop over the last two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The big donor agency does not fund new chronic disease research, and I have witnessed that the eyes of donors will glaze over when I talk about the chronic disease programme because it seems to have no bearing on the Millennium Development Goals. Not these men’s eyes.\u00a0 They wanted to know more, and I had what they needed at my fingertips.<\/p>\n

There is a growing body of literature from big name global health actors calling attention to this issue. Perhaps the first was\u00a0 Anderson\u2019s call to action<\/a> for the international donor community.<\/p>\n

Just this month Stuckler, Basu, and McKee published a fabulous piece in PLoS Medicine<\/a> linking the MDGs to NCDs and HIV\/AIDS. Their equity-framed analysis suggests that improvements in NCD mortality could account for as much improvement in child health as an 80% increase in gross domestic product.\u00a0\u00a0 Also, Katy Cooper of the Oxford Health Alliance has appeared at the same time with the same line of thought about the MDGs and NCDs. She is keen to receive comments to her document from the broader global community at this link<\/a>:<\/p>\n

However, what made the eyes of my guests light up was a presentation of locally generated and analyzed data. We know from government data that 51% of all deaths in Bangladesh are due to chronic diseases [1], but I could show them a graph from our field site in Matlab, a rural area of Bangladesh where we have collected data<\/a> for more than 40 years, that illustrates the rapidity of the epidemiological transition: in\u00a0 1987 more than 50% of deaths were from infectious disease and 8% from chronic disease, but by 2006 68% of deaths were from chronic disease and only around 11% from infectious disease.\u00a0Perhaps you would like to visit this graph <\/a>yourselves<\/p>\n

Sometimes seeing is believing, and my guests left the office as believers. Now we must generate evidence of how to make changes in the lives of the poor to prevent, treat and manage chronic diseases in Bangladesh. I am hopeful that in the future we will have additional, excellent partners aiding our efforts as we look beyond the MDGs.<\/p>\n
