Big Upside from Investing in Fighting Noncommunicable Diseases

'Saving Lives, Spending Less' is the not-so-subtle title for a new report from the World Health Organization examining the benefits to be gained from investing in reducing the noncommunicable diseases that claim so many lives, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
