Heart disease remains number one killer globally – WHO

By Cecilia Ologunagba Abuja, Dec. 10, 2020 The World Health Organisation (WHO) says heart disease remains the number one killer while diabetes and dementia are among top 10 of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) killing people globally. The WHO, in its 2019 Global Health Estimates posted on its website, stated that NCDs made up seven of the world’s top 10 causes of death, a sharp increase from two decades ago. According to the world body, heart disease remains the leading cause of death at the global level in the last 20 years, but it is now killing more people than ever before, representing 16 per cent of total deaths from all causes.
