For the first time, supporters of the NCD Alliance will be hosting the NCD Café throughout WCC 2016. In addition to CVD, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) include cancer, chronic lung disease, diabetes and mental and neurological disorders. Six sessions will take place, on themes which span NCD prevention, patient engagement, financing, and healthy urban environments. These sessions will offer the opportunity for discussion and debate with leading experts in an open and interactive setting, and to explore the rationale for a shared response to CVD and other NCDs.
