The panelists will discuss how this unique partnership combines the strengths of CARE, Abbott and the Abbott Fund to address NCDs for people who remain displaced two years after armed conflict in Marawi City, Philippines.

They'll also share insights on how different organizations can work together to effectively leverage their expertise to maximize positive impact.
