Episode 5
Monday, 22 September, 2025
What insights and lessons learned from the UN High Level Meeting on antimicrobial resistence last September can inform preparations for the upcoming UN High Level Meeting on non-communicable diseases? In this second episode of Intersections in Health, a podcast mini-series, we delve into #NCDs and #AMR common policy benefits and challenges with Professor Dame Sally Davies, UK Special Envoy on AMR, former Chief Medical Officer for England and former member of the WHO Executive Board 2014-2016, and Danilo Lo-Fo-Wong, WHO/Europe Regional Adviser and Programme Manager on the Control of Antimicrobial Resistance.We discuss the deathly threat of AMR for people with non-communicable diseases such as cancer, health diplomacy, the critical roles of civil society organisations in policy, health and the arts and the value of stepping outside our disciplinary bubbles.Tune in and share your feedback on the issues discussed. Please listen back to our previous episode exploring the intersections of NCDs and the triple planetary crisis and stay tuned for our final episode on NCDs and population ageing.This short series is part of WHO/Europe’s count-down to the UN High Level Meeting on NCDs in September 2025.
