The Moment for Caring: Global Week for Action on NCDs 2023
In this episode:
The Global Week for Action on NCDs is a major event on the annual calendar of the NCD community worldwide. In 2023 it takes place from 14 to 21 September. This year’s theme is Bridging the care gap, and in this episode of Voices of the Health Revolution, Grace Dubois from NCD Alliance explains why this year’s event is all about care. Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is key to the approach: the UN High-level Meeting on UHC takes place on 21 September, and for the NCD community it as an opportunity to build on progress to date and to advance UHC policy and implementation ahead of the target date of 2030.
That means the Global Week is ideally situated to call on governments to accelerate action on NCD prevention and care policies globally across the three UHC dimensions: financial, service, and population coverage. Fair and effective solutions will support every person, every family and every community affected by NCDs as well as their costs for care and treatment.
