EuroHealthNet Annual Seminar 2023: Making progress on health equity
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) put a tremendous and increasing strain on health and social protection systems, economic development, and well-being of large population groups. Despite a decline in mortality due to the four major NCDs (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers and chronic respiratory diseases) in the European Region since the mid-2000s, Europe still has the highest NCDs burden in the world. Action is needed across all sectors and settings to mitigate, prevent and control NCDs – for all. Data, monitoring frameworks and targets are important tools in this regard.
This session will feature presentations aimed to discuss the state of play at the EU and WHO European region level, revising the NCDs reduction targets, and capitalising on successes while reflecting on challenges for policy-makers and practitioners in health promotion and prevention in Europe.
