NCD Alliance—together with the Permanent Missions of Ghana and Japan to the United Nations—will host a side event on 2 May 2025 during the Multistakeholder Hearing (MSH) in New York, ahead of the Fourth High-Level Meeting (HLM4) on NCDs and Mental Health. It will explore how governments can take a more proactive role in reversing the rising NCD burden, and aim to galvanise political will by sharing examples of good governance, encouraging partnerships, and centering on people with lived experience.
