This WHO Strategic Roundtable examines how countries can strengthen integrated responses to NCDs and mental health conditions, which are increasingly shaped by shared social, commercial, environmental and demographic factors.

Building on the 2025 Political Declaration, the discussion will focus on aligning policies, financing and health systems to better connect health promotion, prevention and care while addressing multimorbidity, population ageing, nutrition and social connection.

The Roundtable aims to identify practical policy and financing solutions, reinforce political commitment and promote more resilient, people-centred health systems that advance equity and universal health coverage.
