Global high-level technical meeting on noncommunicable diseases in humanitarian settings: building resilient health systems, leaving no-one behind

The Global high-level technical meeting, hosted by the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark and co-organized by the World Health Organization and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) will take place 27–29 February, 2024 in Copenhagen. 

The meeting is a closed hybrid event which brings together NCD, emergency, refugee and health systems experts from WHO/UNHCR Member States, United Nations (UN) agencies, academic bodies and international and national non-State actors, with the objective of strengthening integration of NCDs in humanitarian responses. 

The meeting will serve as an opportunity to move forward dialogue on how best to support Member States in delivering NCD prevention and control services as part of humanitarian responses. Outputs will feed into recommendations made as part of the 2024 progress report to the UN Secretary-General and will inform plans for the Fourth UN High-level meeting on NCDs which will take place in 2025.
