Professor Knut-Inge Klepp, scientific coordinator of the JA PreventNCD, speaks at the EPHC 2024 in Lisbon

A PreventNCD is pleased to announce its active contribution to the upcoming European Public Health Conference 2025 in Helsinki. On 11 November, 13:30–17:00, the project will host a dedicated pre-conference session titled: Policies supporting NCD prevention at regional, national and local levels – effective, aligned and equitable? 

This session will bring together experts, policymakers, and public health professionals to explore how stronger, better-aligned policies can support the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) across Europe.

Non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory conditions, remain the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The session will highlight how evidence-based policies can make a tangible impact in reducing these burdens, with a special focus on tobacco control, sustainable and healthy diets, health taxation measures, and equity in health outcomes.

By addressing both challenges and promising practices, the discussion will provide valuable insights into how regional, national, and local policies can work together to build healthier and fairer societies.
