Second General Meeting of the WHO GCM/NCD

A coordinated and coherent response toreduce the burden of NCDs and mental healthconditions

Since 2014, the World Health Organization’s Global Coordination Mechanism on NCDs (WHO GCM/NCD) supports the implementation of the WHO Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases 2013-2030, and the NCD-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and targets by facilitating multisectoral and multistakeholder collaborations at local, national, regional and global levels. A Member-State led platform, the GCM/NCD connects and convenes Member States, UN Organizations, nongovernmental organizations, the private sector, philanthropic foundations, people with lived experience of health conditions, academic institutions and other partners for a coordinated, effective and equitable NCD response. In 2018, the GCM/NCD held its First General Meeting. 

In direct support of the High-level Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (UNHLM-NCD) preparatory process, the WHO GCM/NCD gathers insights and expertise from GCM Participants through a series of co-developed thematic issue briefs under the joint leadership of the Secretariat and selected GCM Participants.

The Second General Meeting of the GCM/NCD will take place on 24 and April 2025 at WHO Headquarters, Avenue Appia,1211, Geneva, Switzerland.
