Several countries, including Antigua and Barbuda, Belgium, Brazil, Ghana, Georgia, Japan, and Thailand, along with the WHO and UN Foundation, co-hosted an interactive dialogue under Chatham House rules to address comorbidities in relation to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health conditions. The discussion, part of preparations for the Fourth High-Level Meeting on NCDs and mental health in September 2025, examined how primary health care reforms contribute to prevention and treatment of these conditions, focusing on integrated service delivery and health workforce optimization in various settings, including humanitarian ones.
