Thirty national and international organisations will jointly arrange the conference, which is the first of its kind in Bangladesh, disclosed at a press conference held on the occasion on Monday.
Emphasising the arrangement of such a programme, speakers at the conference said non-communicable diseases are massively increasing around the globe including in Bangladesh while people's immune system is getting weaker day by day.
