The clear message that emerges is that unless immediate action is taken globally, the neurological burden is likely to become an increasingly serious and unmanageable.

Extending healthy ageing across the life course
This was the second virtual meeting to initiate WHO’s new area of work on connecting healthy development and healthy ageing throughout the life course, following the first in June 2022.

Participants included persons from life course centres, experts in individual life stages – including children, adolescents, adults and older adults – members of the Consortium on Metrics and Evidence for Healthy Ageing (CMEHA) – including academics, civil society representatives and policy-makers – as well as staff from WHO and other international agencies.
Chronic Non-communicable Diseases in Low and Middle-income Countries
Low and middle income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America bear a significant proportion of the global burden of chronic non-communicable diseases.

Providing insights on successful and sustainable interventions and policies, it shows how to slow and reverse the rising burden of chronic diseases in resource-poor settings.
