Abstract	Over 41 million people die of chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) each year, accounting for 71% of all global deaths. The burden of CNCD is specifically a problem in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) since CNCDs are largely a leading major cause of mortality in the sub-region. While the disease burden and mortality from chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) have reached an epidemic threshold in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), health systems, policy-makers and individuals still consider CNCDs to be uncommon and, therefore, do not give its management the required attention. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), effectively addressing the growing burden of CNCDs will require comprehensive measures that incorporate both curative and preventive interventions, towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.4 target of reducing by one-third premature mortality from CNCDs through prevention and treatment and the promotion of mental health and well-being by the year 2030. In this commentary, we adopt the Chronic Care Model (CCM) to discuss how improved investment in Chronic Disease Care is crucial in achieving the SDG target in SSA. At the health systems level of the CCM, we propose that countries in SSA should increase the proportion of their annual budgets allocated to health in line with the Abuja Declaration of 2001. Social health insurance should also be adopted by all countries and effectively implemented. At the community level, we propose intensified community-based health education, the formation of peer support groups and the implementation of community-based policies that promote healthy eating and physical activity.
