UN Secretary-General's High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases

The UN Secretary-General's High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) is a global gathering aimed at addressing serious health conditions like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases. These illnesses are leading causes of death worldwide and are often linked to lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption. The meeting's goal is to strengthen international cooperation, share effective strategies, and mobilize commitments from governments and organizations to reduce the impact of NCDs, improve health systems, and save lives through better prevention and treatment efforts.
