The UN General Assembly for NCD honored the progress since the 2011 Political Declaration on NCDs; as well as, recognized the unfinished work as global attention shifts to Universal Health Coverage (UHC).  The breakfast celebrated individuals who have dedicated their careers to advancing global and national NCD agendas, especially as they relate to the prevention, treatment, care, palliation, and support of children, adolescents, and young people.
