“We propose a complementary agenda to reduce premature mortality from all NCDs and injuries (including neuropsychiatric disorders) by 80% in individuals younger than 40 years by the year 2020.”

“80 under 40 by 2020: an equity agenda for NCDs and injuries” is a commentary published in The Lancet in 2014, written by Hon. Min. Agnes Binagwaho and Dr. Marie Aimee Muhimpindu of the Rwandan Ministry of Health and Dr. Gene Bukhman for the NCD Synergies group. The 80x40x20 paper was written as an outcome of the NCD Synergies conference held in Kigali, Rwanda in July 2013. The conference hosted by the Rwandan Ministry of Health and attended by representatives from 18 countries, including policy makers from 13 African health ministries.

In the advocacy piece, the authors call for an expanded international agenda on noncommunicable diseases and injuries, focusing particularly on the very poorest populations and individuals younger than 40.
