Recital 17
(17) Non-communicable diseases are a result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioural factors. Such non- communicable diseases as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, obesity, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes, and neurologic disorder represent major causes of disability, ill-health, health- related retirement, and premature death in the Union, resulting in considerable social and economic impacts. To decrease the impact of non-communicable diseases on individuals and society in the Union and reach goal 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals, Target 3.4, to reduce premature mortality from non- communicable diseases by one third by 2030, it is key to provide an integrated response focusing on prevention across sectors and policy fields, combined with efforts to strengthen health systems.

Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) Chronic diseases develop slowly, are long-lasting and often incurable. Chronic disease patients often live with several comorbidities, which makes it complex to treat and manage them. The Union and the Member States can greatly reduce the burden on Member States by working together to achieve a better and more effective management of diseases, and the Programme should support actions in this area. The Programme should support the development of specific European Diseases Management Guidelines, for diseases such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, respiratory diseases, obesity and diabetes. In making these guidelines, special attention should be given to major risk factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air quality.

Recital 18
(18) The Programme therefore should contribute to disease prevention throughout the lifetime of an individual and to health promotion by addressing health risk factors, such as the use of tobacco and related products and exposure to their emissions, the harmful use of alcohol, and the consumption of illicit drugs. The Programme should also contribute to the reduction of drugs-related health damage, obesity, unhealthy dietary habits and physical inactivity, and exposure to environmental pollution, and foster supportive environments for healthy lifestyles in order to complement Member States action in these areas. The Programme should also therefore contribute to the objectives of the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy and, the Biodiversity Strategy and Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability.

Recital 19
(19) Cancer iscauses 26 % of all deaths in EU and is thereby the second leading cause of mortality in the Member States after cardiovascular diseases that represent 36 % of all deaths in the EU. It is also one of non-communicable diseases that share common risk factors such as obesity for 20 % of cancers and the prevention and control of which would benefit the majority of citizens. In 2020 the Commission announced the ‘Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan’ which would cover the entire cycle of the disease starting from prevention and early diagnosis to treatment and quality of life of patients and survivors. The measures should benefit from the Programme and from Horizon Europe’s Mission on Cancer.
