CSocD64

On 5 February 2026, representatives from the @MATES4Kids network presented a virtual side event at the United Nations Commission of Social Development (UN CSocD64) and co-hosted by CLAN, Lehigh University, and @MATES4Kids.

The theme of the event was:
“Ensuring access to WHO Essential Medicines for #EVERYChild: Achieving the 80% x 2030 Target set by the 4th UNHLM NCDs Political Declaration.”

The event took place virtually on 5 February from 5:45 - 7pm (New York Time/EDT) - the equivalent of 7:45 - 9am (Sydney Time/AEDT on 6 February).

Thank you to all our speakers and attendees for your invaluable contributions!

A formal report on the event was launched at our CSW70 parallel event on 20 March 2026!
