The UN Inter-Agency Task Force on NCDs will hold its 27th meeting in Geneva on 18–19 November, according to a post on X by Dr Alexey Kulikov. Kulikov is Head of Partnerships and Operations and Deputy Head of Secretariat of the Task Force.
Kulikov said the agenda shows how far the response to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health reaches beyond the health sector. He listed tax and fiscal policy, food systems, trade, digital transformation, urban planning, the environment and humanitarian action among the topics.
He wrote that this breadth is why more than 40 UN agencies, each bringing its own mandate and expertise, work together under one Task Force.
Kulikov said that in an accompanying episode he walks through what is on the table at the meeting. He also asked followers which of the topics they would like him to explore in more depth.
