Join us for a presentation of NCDSim, a new Swedish simulation tool that illustrates how lifestyle factors impact the development of two major NCDs - cardiovascular disease and cancer.   Developed in collaboration between the Public Health Agency of Sweden, the Swedish Cancer Society (Cancerfonden), and the Swedish Heart-Lung Foundation, NCDSim was introduced earlier this year as the result of a joint effort that began in 2019.   The tool demonstrates the population-level impact of risk factors such as smoking, diet, alcohol consumption, and physical activity. It enables scenario-based calculations of how the risk factors affect incidence, mortality and related healthcare costs. NCDSim makes it possible to visualise the long-term effects and the impact that can be achieved through preventive efforts.   The aim of this event is to showcase the tool and inspire data-driven public health action to help meet the global target of reducing premature deaths caused by NCDs.   A high-level panel of experts and policymakers will explore the topic from Swedish, European, and global perspectives, and share their priorities ahead of the upcoming UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health.   Speakers Karin Tegmark Wisell, Swedish Ambassador for Global Health. Lisa Brouwers, PhD Chief Analyst Head of Unit for analysis Public Health Agency, Sweden Ulrika Årehed Kågström, President of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and Secretary-General of the Swedish Cancer Society Borjana Pervan, COO and Deputy CEO, World Heart Federation  Alison Cox, Policy & Advocacy Director, NCD Alliance Agenda to be announced shortly. A light lunch will be served during the event. Date and time: 11:00-13:00, 23 September 2025   Location: This event is taking place in New York on the sidelines of the fourth High-level Meeting (HLM4) on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and Mental Health, in close proximity to the UN.
