Contents:
This webinar explains the implications of the newly adopted WHO resolution on noncommunicable diseases and mental health, and explores how coeliac societies can use the accompanying WHO/Europe roadmap to advance national-level recognition of coeliac disease.
The session will examine how coeliac organisations can support health systems in integrating coeliac disease into mental health strategies, ensuring patients receive comprehensive care that addresses both physical and psychological impacts.
With insights from WHO/Europe, participants will understand the policy opportunities and practical steps that can move the resolution from political commitment to real change.
The presentation will last approximately 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session for attendees.
