Register for our Latin America regional dialogues and help build back fairer
Building back better and fairer after COVID-19 is a global issue – but different regions need solutions that fit specific local needs and contexts. The NCD Alliance's regional dialogues ‘Inspiring Change, Putting People First: Shaping Responsive Health Systems for People Living with NCDs in the COVID-19 Era’ will discuss region-specific people-centred approaches to addressing NCDs, ensuring UHC and leaving no one behind.
Don’t miss the chance to take part and have your voice make a real difference for people living with NCDs. The Latin America regional meeting will be held via Zoom on Tuesday 8 June 2021, 9:00- 11:00 am CDT (Mexico City time), and open to the public. NCDA will also host an Our Views, Our Voices regional meeting for Latin America to explore opportunities and barriers related to the meaningful involvement of people living with NCDs. This meeting is open to NCDA members and alliances only and will take place on Wednesday 9 June 2021.
