Join Economist Impact for ‘MASLD and MASH: prioritising a global public health threat’, supported by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). 

The event is scheduled for September 23 2024 from 08:00 - 10:30 h in New York and will explore the critical public health threats posed by MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) and MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis), diseases that affect one in three adults worldwide.

It will bring together senior global stakeholders (Government [including policymakers, regulators and influencers], Civil Society and/or Patient Organizations, Multilateral Organisations [e.g., UN or NCD-related], Healthcare providers) to discuss the future outlook and policies required to reduce the environmental, social, economic, and human contributors to these diseases.

Broad themes for the session include:

  • The social and economic consequences: What are the impacts of leaving MASLD and MASH unaddressed on both societal and economic levels?
  • Raising awareness: How can awareness around MASLD and MASH be improved to encourage more action by governments, healthcare providers, and civil society?
  • Building a cohesive community: How can a more cohesive community of practice around MASLD and MASH be developed, nurtured, and supported?
  • Policy development: What types of policies can be implemented to reduce the environmental, social, economic, and human contributors to MASLD?
