The Pulse of Tomorrow: Shifting the Paradigm for NCDs in Global Health Architecture
On 12 May, NCD Alliance, together with City Cancer Challenge and the Partnership for International Politics and Diplomacy for Health, is convening public health thought leaders, including member states, UN agencies, civil society, private sector, academia, foundations, and people living with NCDs, for a discussion on changes needed in the global health architecture to pivot towards integrated people-centred health systems.
The ongoing global health financing crisis and shifting geopolitics around multilateralism have created a window of opportunity to reimagine global health. In this critical moment, the NCD community has to be at the table and actively engage with processes to ensure that noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including mental health and neurological conditions, are more effectively positioned in the future international health system.
This webinar will convene public health thought leaders, including member states, UN agencies, civil society, private sector, academia, foundations, and people living with NCDs, through a discussion amongst the International Politics and Diplomacy for Health Executive Programme fellows and faculty. The discussions will focus on the changes that are needed in the global health architecture, with a special view toward the WHO joint process, to pivot towards integrated global frameworks, person-centred health systems, and unified plans and budgets to ensure sustainability and health for all.
Key objectives
- Catalyse discussion on NCDs within the global health reform agenda ahead of WHA 79 (18-23 May, Geneva) review of the WHO proposal for a joint planning process.
- Share the NCD community’s recommendations with a broader public health audience.
- Develop constructive proposals to address the political challenges within and outside of the health sector that NCDs need to overcome in global health reform.
The webinar will take place on 12 May at 14:00 CET.
The list of speakers will be announced soon.
