Antonio is the Health for All Lead in the Centre for Health and Healthcare at the World Economic Forum. The mission of this initiative is to drive a global movement to overcome the NCD challenge for low- and middle-income populations across every country. The three priorities of the initiative are to make the business and societal case for NCD prevention and management, engaging governments to embrace new models of public health, and coordinating public-private partnerships to drive impact across national and community programmes including city-based place-based change coalitions. The two primary communities of action align the interests of more than 100+ organizations from across 10+ industries across Cardiometabolic Health and Rare Diseases.
