Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the NCDI Poverty Network secretariat, it is a pleasure to invite you to: Bridging a Gap in Universal Health Coverage for the Poorest Billion: Launch of the NCDI Poverty Network. The event will stream live on Monday, 7 December, from 9-10:30AM EST / 14:00-15:30 GMT. Please register here:  Following publication of the Lancet NCDI Poverty Commission report in September 2020, we are pleased to formally launch the NCDI Poverty Network to build and expand a community of stakeholders focused on preventing the death and suffering of people doubly afflicted by NCDs and extreme poverty. In this event, members of the Lancet NCDI Poverty Commission and National NCDI Poverty Commissions will share key findings and experiences across regions. Presentations will be followed by facilitated regional breakout sessions for participants to discuss key strategies for service delivery, research, advocacy, and financing to accelerate progress for people living with NCDs and injuries in settings of poverty.   We hope you will join us!
