This high-level event provides a platform for a call to action for Member States to scale up use of digital interventions that will lead to a significant reduction in premature mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health conditions (SDG Target 3.41) and support the achievement of broader universal health coverage goals.
