Minister of Health of the Czech Republic, Mr. Adam Vojtěch, visited New York between September 25 and September 27, 2018, where he participated in two high-level meetings on tuberculosis and non-communicable diseases, which took place on the margins of the high-level week of the seventy-third session of the UN General Assembly.
Minister Vojtěch spoke during the plenary session of the high-level meeting on non-communicable diseases, where he emphasized the need for information and using new communication technology in prevention of non-communicable diseases. The public should be positively motivated to see health more as an investment, rather than an expense. He also appeared as one of the main speakers during a side-event entitled “Ending HIV, tuberculosis and viral hepatitis through intersectoral collaboration in Europe and Central Asia”, which was organized by the World Health Organization, International Organization for Migration and Slovakia.
Mr. Vojtěch signed a cooperation agreement with the Minister of Health of Lithuania, Mr. A. Veryga, and also took part in the meeting of ministers of health of the Visegrad Group organized by its Slovakian presidency.
