Building back better and fairer after COVID-19 is a global issue – but different regions need solutions that fit specific local needs and contexts. NCDA’s regional dialogues ‘Inspiring Change, Putting People First: Shaping Responsive Health Systems for People Living with NCDs in the COVID-19 Era’ will discuss region-specific people-centred approaches to addressing NCDs, ensuring UHC and leaving no one behind.

The NCD Alliance will bring together diverse NCD stakeholders for a multisectoral regional dialogue to discuss approaches for the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region to people-centred health systems to build back better and fairer from the COVID-19 pandemic. The role of different stakeholders in promoting meaningful involvement of people living with NCDs will also be discussed. This dialogue is open to NCDA partners, members and those with an interest in health in the region and will take place on Tuesday 8 June. You can register here!

NCDA will also co-host with the Healthy Latin American Coalition (CLAS) and Mexico Salud-Hable an Our Views, Our Voices Pan American regional meeting to explore opportunities and barriers related to meaningful involvement of people living with NCDs, alongside strategies and support needed to implement meaningful involvement in organisational practices.

We invite you to register here through a two-step process – first you will be asked to nominate participants, and then we will send you the registration details.
