Road to the UN High-Level Meeting
2025 is a pivotal year in the global health agenda, especially for noncommunicable diseases(NCDs) and mental health. This year’s UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health (UN HLM) is a crucial opportunity for advocates to come together and jointly push for progress in this space.
In this light, Boehringer Ingelheim, in collaboration with the NCD Alliance, would like to invite you to a series of events on NCD policies on Monday 19 May at the InterContinental Genève (Chemin du Petit-Saconnex 7-9, 1209 Geneva).
