The deadly collision of NCDs and COVID-19 threatens to leave a legacy of long-lasting impacts on health and wellbeing, exacerbating inequalities and potentially threatening economic and political stability. This workshop will bring the unique expertise of policy-makers, civil society, people living with NCDs and the private sector around the table to discuss the lessons learned from the pandemic and the breadth of the long-term approach and investments needed to ensure a sustainable respond to NCDs.

This invitation-only roundtable will bring together policymakers, experts, and civil society to discuss new approaches to address the investment gap to galvanize action on NCDs and mental health. Co-hosted together with the Permanent Mission of Jamaica to the United Nations, Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UN Inter-Agency Taskforce on NCDs.
