Message from the President
Together, let's save lives
« Globalization and urbanization open the doors to unhealthy lifestyles (tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet and lack of physical exercise) and environmental changes (air pollution) that are at the origin of Non-Communicable Diseases. Most NCD risk factors are entirely preventable, provided that well-known and cost-effective measures are taken wisely. »Learn more about us
