Topic i: creating technology as a RESPONSE to noncommunicable diseases
topic ii: Health emergency preparedness in developing countries
Over the past few years, our battle against global health threats has taken a critical turn, driven by groundbreaking technology and international collaboration. The challenge now is, can we leverage innovation to combat noncommunicable diseases and accelerate health emergency preparedness in developing countries? In the World Health Organization, you will dive deeper into the use cases of technology to manage and prevent noncommunicable diseases, exploring solutions that could save millions of lives. You will also be able to address the urgent need to prepare developing countries for health emergencies, ensuring they can effectively respond to crises and protect their citizens. We need your innovative thinking, policies, and strategies to shape the future of global health, and your solutions will guide how the world addresses these critical health issues!
