The symposium is a dedicated event designed to highlight and explore the critical role of individuals living with Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in the management and control of these conditions.

The purpose of this symposium is to create an interactive and inclusive platform where people living with NCDs can share their experiences and insights, thus contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of NCD management strategies. It aims to underscore the significance of a people-centered approach, which prioritizes the voices and experiences of those directly affected by these diseases.

By organizing such a symposium during the Global Week for Action on NCDs, we can create a meaningful platform that not only shines a light on the challenges faced by those living with NCDs but also ensures that their voices and needs are at the forefront of policies and solutions.
