On the margins of the UN General Assembly and the UN HLM on NCDs, IFPMA organized a networking reception that brought together leaders across sectors to unpack how health progress can be delivered through innovation and different forms of collaboration. This was a moment to connect, reflect, and reaffirm a shared commitment to advancing better health outcomes for all. The event was a networking reception, with a short opening segment in which we heard from key experts.
