But in the wake of the global financial crisis, development assistance for health from governments and private donors has plateaued at about $35 billion annually, after growing more than 11% per year from 2000-2010. And less than 2% of that money was directed at combatting chronic diseases.
显然，我们需要更多的资源应对这些挑战。但在全球金融危机面前，来自政府和私人赞助者的发展援助徘徊在每年350亿美元左右，而在2000—2010年期间，这一数字每年都能增加11%以上。而这些援助资金中只有不到2%被用于遏制慢性病。
