Partners Forum: Country Perspectives on Ending Neglected Diseases within Climate Resilient Health Systems
September 5 @ 7:00 am - 8:30 am
FreeJoin for an insightful discussion on regional, country, and community-based perspectives on integrating climate action and NTD elimination. The forum aims to build on the dialogue initiated by the recently published Climate Action for NTD Elimination and Health Systems Partner Perspectives paper and Climate change, malaria and neglected tropical diseases: a scoping review led by the World Health Organization.
We will hear from a panel of African leaders contributing to the fast-growing conversation on how political and financial systems must coordinate to support the communities most affected by climate change and who contribute least to its causes. Additionally, we will explore how disease elimination strategies can evolve in response to these challenges.
We are thrilled to share the keynote address will be given by Dr. Ngamije, Director of the WHO Global Malaria Programme, and the panel will be moderated by Desta Lakew, Director of Partnerships, Amref Health Africa.
