What insights and lessons learned from the UN High Level Meeting on antimicrobial resistence last September can inform preparations for the upcoming UN High Level Meeting on non-communicable diseases?
In this second episode of Intersections in Health, a podcast mini-series, we delve into #NCDs and #AMR common policy benefits and challenges with
- Professor Dame Sally Davies, UK Special Envoy on AMR, former Chief Medical Officer for England and former member of the WHO Executive Board 2014-2016, and
- Danilo Lo-Fo-Wong, WHO/Europe Regional Adviser and Programme Manager on the Control of Antimicrobial Resistance.
We discuss the deathly threat of AMR for people with non-communicable diseases such as cancer, health diplomacy, the critical roles of civil society organisations in policy, health and the arts and the value of stepping outside our disciplinary bubbles.
Tune in and share your feedback on the issues discussed.
Please listen back to our previous episode exploring the intersections of NCDs and the triple planetary crisis and stay tuned for our final episode on NCDs and population ageing.
This short series is part of WHO/Europe’s count-down to the UN High Level Meeting on NCDs in September 2025.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
