00:001 billion people. That's how many are living with mental health conditions right now.
00:04And the World Health Organization just dropped a report that should wake everyone up.
00:08While countries were making progress fighting non-communicable diseases from 2010 to 2019,
00:13that momentum has completely stalled. We're talking about heart disease, cancer, diabetes,
00:18isibles, the conditions that account for 75% of deaths in developing countries.
00:22That's 32 million lives lost every year. But here's what's shocking. The WHO says just $3
00:28per person annually could tackle these issues and generate up to $1 trillion in economic benefits
00:33by 2030. Next September, world leaders will meet at the UN to address this crisis. Because unlike
00:40infectious diseases that grab headlines, these are the silent killers quietly crushing economies and
00:45families worldwide. The old approach of treating disease after it appears isn't working. We need
00:49prevention policy and investment now.
