OneNeurology Register now for our upcoming webinar: ‘Leveraging NCD Policies for Neurology’
New date: Monday, January 20, 2025
14.00 – 16.00 CET | 08.00 – 10 .00 EST | 18.30 – 20.30 IST
Join us for a two hour webinar featuring reflections from around the world ahead of the UN High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in 2025. This webinar, presented in association with the NCD Alliance, aims to bridge the gap between global NCD (Non-Communicable Diseases) policies and the needs of the neurology community. The webinar will serve as a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices. Learn from experts in the field and fellow attendees to enhance your understanding of how NCD policies can be leveraged to support neurology. By exploring how progress in global NCD policy can be adapted and applied at the national level, we can truly make a difference in the lives of those affected by neurological conditions.
A link to the webinar will be shared ahead of the event.
