Closing Global Health's Biggest Gap

Chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease cause 41 million deaths per year, or 74% of all deaths globally. Out-of-pocket health costs are often catastrophic, driving millions of people into poverty every year. Yet they are the most underfunded global health issue. In this podcast, we hear from diverse NCD champions on the urgent need to close this funding gap - and solutions that can make it happen, like fiscal policies for health, innovative partnerships and integrated care. In the lead up to the Second Global NCD Financing Dialogue that will take place in 2023, the time is now to put our minds together and take a new approach to global health financing.This podcast highlights five voices from NCDA's event: NCD financing as the foundation for healthy societies and economies Rachel Nugent, RTI International Paul Fife, Director of the Department of Human Development, Norad Dr Omary Ubuguyu, Director for Curative Services, Ministry of Health, United Republic of Tanzania Dr Kelly Henning, Public Health Programme Lead, Bloomberg Philanthropies Dr Vuyiseka Dubula Majola, Director of the Africa Centre for HIV/AIDS Management, South Africa'Voices of the Health Revolution' is a podcast series that shines a spotlight on the trailblazers who are leading bold action to protect our universal right to health - even when that means taking a stand against the big industries who threaten it.Find out more at actonncds.org#ActOnNCDs Hosted on Acast.
