Delivering on Brain Health: Implementing IGAP and the Political Declaration on NCDs

Neurological conditions are the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide, yet they remain under-prioritised within national NCD strategies and health system planning. This event will examine how Member States and partners can translate these global commitments into concrete national implementation. Drawing on findings from the WHO Global Status Report on Neurology (2025), the discussion will highlight gaps in workforce, financing, essential medicines, rehabilitation, and integration into Universal Health Coverage frameworks.
