How do we turn global promises on NCDs and mental health into real change in our region?

The UN High-Level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) and Mental Health brought the world together to commit to stronger action on some of today's biggest health challenges. But what happens next? How do we make sure these global promises lead to real change for people and communities in Australia and across our region?

In this webinar, health leaders from Australia and the Pacific will share their reflections on the outcomes of the meeting and what they mean in practice. Together, we'll explore how we can support action on the ground, build on local strengths, and work across borders to create healthier futures.
