Since noncommunicable diseases will likely persist as a major public health problem brought about by globalization, urbanization and continued exposure to and uptake of unhealthy lifestyles by the population, it is thus important that the momentum of relevant and productive work be sustained by the health sector and other key stakeholders. Noncommunicable diseases should continue to be included in the health and development agenda of national and local governance. Promoting healthy lifestyle is geared towards the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and to improve their health behaviors in relation to prevention and control of NCDs. It is about people making healthy choices and living healthy lives.
