The Government of Denmark, the Government of Tanzania, and the NCD Alliance are honored to invite representatives from governments, multilateral agencies, civil society organizations, and the private sector to an interactive session on sustainable financing for health and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the post-2015 agenda.

NCDs are one of the major challenges to global health today, claiming approximately 38 million lives per year worldwide.
