Episode 10: Global Health's Next Turning Point? The UN Political Declaration on NCDs and Mental Health


Listen Later

In this episode, I explored and gave my opinion on what the declaration says, why it matters, which commitments are likely to become reality, and what lessons from past NCD efforts reveal about the challenges ahead.
