Introduction:
This plenary will be organised as a panel discussion and will build on the morning plenary session by translating global commitments on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) into practical implementation. It will explore how health systems and pharmacy can operationalise action across key areas, including equity, access, vaccination, self-care, supply chains and patient-centred care.
The session will bring together global leaders to share perspectives on how collaboration, innovation and partnerships can drive progress in addressing NCDs and strengthening people-centred health systems.
The session will conclude with the launch of a new FIP NCD declaration.
