Events - Global Coalition for Circulatory Health Webinar: Translating the 2025 UN political declaration commitments into action for circulatory health

The 2025 UN HLM Political Declaration renews global commitment to cut premature NCD deaths through prevention, early detection, and integrated, people-centred care. With circulatory conditions—CVD, diabetes, kidney disease—driving most of the 43 million annual NCD deaths, translating commitments into national action is vital. This webinar explores government obligations, expected impacts, indicators, and needed health-system changes, highlighting integrated primary care and the unified agenda of the GCCH partners. 

Learning objectives:

• Unpack the UN political declaration: Highlight key provisions on cardiovascular, diabetes, and kidney health, and identify gaps, challenges, and opportunities. 

• Explore implementation: Clarify implications for national action, including KPIs, policy shifts, and accountability mechanisms. 
• Understand implications for people: Outline expected benefits for people with lived experience, focusing on timely, affordable, continuous primary care.
