Building bridges for united action on noncommunicable diseases and mental health. Stakeholder priorities in the WHO European Region

Overview

The following document represents a synthesis of over 1200 inputs provided through a series of virtual and in-person WHO events and consultations between September 2024 and March 2025. Participants included representatives of Member States, health and care providers, public health professionals, non-state actors, people with lived experience (PWLE), young people, civil society and WHO staff. Respondents were asked to identify priority actions for addressing NCDs and mental health conditions in the WHO European Region. Inputs were collected using Pera, an innovative AI tool developed by the WHO Regional Office for Europe. The data were further reviewed, synthesized and summarized by staff in the WHO Regional Office for Europe.
