This event is the continuation of a long-term agenda to integrate women’s life course healthcare into the UN agenda with a focus on Universal Health Coverage (UHC), especially in context of the greatest burdens of global diseases. These include the major non-communicable diseases (NCDs), specifically, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, and mental health and neurological conditions. With the challenges ofCovid-19, NCDs and information and communication technologies (ICTs) have taken center stage in relevance to healthcare.
With the growing emergence of the importance of ICTs with both positive and negative influences on physical and mental healthcare, women’s health and well-being must be addressed in a systematic and cohesive manner. Speakers will discuss examples and recommendations for the path forward.
