Join us on 11th September 2024 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm EDT at the @MATES4Kids side event at the Science Summit at the UN General Assembly.

The event aims to showcase innovative approaches to point-of-care testing and newborn screening (NBS), address challenges and solutions for accessing essential medicines and diagnostics for children with NCDs, highlight the role of education and youth in reducing childhood NCD mortality, and identify methods to improve access to essential medicines. Supporting the @MATES4Kids Network, the event will feature global experts discussing solutions to NCD inequities. The focus is on innovative health solutions for pediatric NCDs in resource-limited settings, emphasizing scaling NBS and sharing tools from the @MATES4Kids Toolkit.
