The report on feedback from consultations on the Zero Draft of the updated Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health is now available.
The report is a synthesis of views received from over 2,000 organizations on the zero draft; NCD Alliance was part of this consultation process and submitted comments on the zero draft. The report identifies better integration of the life-course approach throughout the strategy as one of the elements in need of strengthening, and calls for integration of NCDs and RMNCAH, and mental health services.
NCDs and mental health are listed as two of the most mentioned intervention gaps in the draft. The writing team will tack the feedback report and further revise the Global Strategy, which will be launched in September at the UN General Assembly.
