NCD Hard Talks Webinar: From Declarations to Actions: Political will to fight NCDs: Presentation slides

The health system response to noncommunicable disease (NCD) begins from the top, in the political realm with not only declarations, but accompanied actions by the representatives of the people at the helm of leadership. NCDs have been blessed with four United Nations High-Level Meetings (UNHLM), however, few corresponding actions have followed at the global and country level. To make progress on NCD, political action enforcing a multisectoral approach is needed with government ministries and agencies working together in collaboration with communities, civil society, private sector and other partners for a whole-of-society and strengthened health systems approach. 

Participation, inclusion, and co-production are needed to enable a whole-of-society response to increase the uptake of evidence-based interventions for the prevention and management of NCDs. Join us as health experts untangle the fabric of health governance, sharing key insights on the gaps, challenges and lessons learned on how to strengthen the political will to fight the NCD epidemic.
