Health professionals

Health professionals are among those best placed to give the trusted, accurate advice needed to prevent and treat non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

We strive to stimulate a global movement to raise awareness, motivate, educate and support the global health workforce in promoting healthy behaviours to combat the NCD epidemic.

We work with health professionals (particularly nurses) to enhance their own knowledge and adopt healthy lifestyles. Through these initiatives health professionals become advocates for their patients, families and communities.
