Description

This briefing paper aims to inform Member States about the crucial opportunity of the 2019 UN High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage (UHC HLM) and the need to ensure that the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) is included as an element of UHC in the outcome document of the UN HLM. These priorities complement the asks outlined by UHC2030.

Over 200 global organisations and individuals including civil society, academia, alliances and people living with NCDs responded to a consultation to inform and shape these advocacy priorities.
