WHO Ministerial meetings in Moscow

The WHO recently held a series of events in Moscow, Russia in anticipation of the UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs in September 2011. The two events were the "WHO global forum: Addressing the challenge of NCDs" (27 April) and the "First global ministerial conference on healthy lifestyles and NCD control" (28-29 April).

The first event, the WHO global forum, brought together various individuals, organizations, and other stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities in NCD prevention and control. In addition to identifying and committing to global priority actions, the forum helped define the expectations and roles of different stakeholders leading up to the High-Level Meeting.
