Leaving no one behind: advancing the NCD response through integration
This session will explore opportunities to integrate NCDs into existing systems to achieve comprehensive healthcare.
It will share the Taskforce on Women and NCDs’ four key areas of collaboration to enhance meaningful involvement, health services and outcomes for women and girls, and emphasise the importance of promoting gender equity in NCD responses. It will also highlight a successful community-led program implemented in partnership with several stakeholders to address the needs of marginalized populations displaced by conflicts. Key lessons and insights will be shared on the need and opportunities for integration to advance care for different target populations.
