On September 22, in the lead up to the UN High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage, WHO organized its first US “Walk the Talk, the Health for All Challenge” in New York City. Hundreds of people from around the world participated in the 4-mile walk/run in beautiful Central Park.
“This fun event celebrated our own health and asked for health for all, while drawing attention to the urgency of Universal Health Coverage, and demonstrated that the NCD movement has definitely arrived,” said Nalini, who attended the Walk.
Arogya World also helped with the Taskforce on Women and NCDs booth at The Walk.
