World Noncommunicable Diseases Congress 2022
Online in Zoom
Online in Zoom
The rising burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide affects us regardless of age, income, or geography. Examples include diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic lung diseases, kidney diseases, mental health problems. Most attention is typically focused on downstream crisis management of chronic diseases and their complications. This reactive approach is not only inefficient, but costly. We must reverse this trend. It’s time we shift our attention to a culture of prevention by promoting health, and well-being through addressing root causes of disease. This Congress aims to prompt this seismic shift. The conference aims to draw multi-sectoral participation from health sciences faculty and trainees, epidemiologists, community health workers, clinicians, urban planners, policy makers, patient educators, data scientists, nutritionists, engineers, behavioral scientists, public health practitioners, NGO employees, and members of private industry. We look forward to connecting with you for this one of a kind Congress, to make a world of difference in the prevention of noncommunicable diseases. University of Michigan and World NCD Federation
