Call for nomination: 2025 UN NCD @un_ncd Task Force #Awards focusing on obesity prevention and control. No country is immune to the impacts of the #obesity pandemic, which now affects over 1 billion people – including 160 million children and adolescents – across the world. Without urgent action, the global costs of #overweight and obesity are predicted to reach a staggering US$ 3 trillion per year by 2030. Today, United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on Noncommunicable Diseases in collaboration with @WHO Department of Nutrition and Food Safety announced a call for nominations for the 2025 Awards. This year, awards will recognise the effort of governments and their partners to prevent and control obesity, one of the world’s most pressing public #health challenges. Application deadline is 30 April 2025. Tackling obesity underscores the commitment by the Task Force to promote cross-sector action to combat the noncommunicable diseases #NCDs-related Sustainable Development Goal targets. Tackling obesity will be central to Member State discussions as they prepare for the Fourth High-level Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on NCDs in New York this September. Award winners will be announced during the United Nations General Assembly high-level week. Launched in 2018, the prestigious Task Force Awards recognise excellence in multisectoral action to combat to advance the NCDs-related #SDGs. Last year the focus was on assistive technology, in 2023 it was on digital health, and in 2022, it was on primary health care.

On International Childhood Cancer Day the building of the World Health Organization in Jordan was lit up in gold, to honour the courage of children with cancer, and help spread awareness around it. #HealthForAll

Thank you RD @HananBalkhy for raising the profile of #childhoodcancer on 🎗️International Childhood Cancer Day. Together we can make a difference for thousands of children in need! #ProudToBeWHO @WHOEMRO

Many children with #cancer lack access to life-saving medicines. @WHO and @StJudeResearch are changing that! Today, we are starting the delivery of childhood cancer medicines to Mongolia and Uzbekistan: bit.ly/4hPDeWN The next shipments are planned for Ecuador, Jordan, Nepal and Zambia. This year, approximately 5000 children with cancer will benefit from these treatments at more than 30 hospitals across these countries.

@WHO & @StJude have launched the Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines, delivering essential treatments to Mongolia, Uzbekistan, and soon Jordan. This initiative will reach 5,000 children across 30+ hospitals. @WHOEMRO @HananBalkhy

@khaledghanem Stay strong my friend!

Our BASMA Pediatric Oncology Unit is operational despite the current escalation in Syria! Huge thanks to our dedicated physicians and nurses who bravely serve children and their families. Your commitment is inspiring! 💛 #HealthcareHeroes #BASMAPediatrics

Early diagnosis & treatment for breast and #CervicalCancer aren’t just life-saving—they’re financially smart! 💡 💸$1 invested in breast cancer treatment = up to $7.80 return 💸$1 invested in cervical cancer treatment = up to $11.50 return #InvestInHealth #BreastCancer

Investing in HPV #vaccination 💉 is a game-changer! For every $1 spent vaccinating 12-year-old girls against HPV at 90% coverage, the return is $6.20! 💸 Prevention saves lives and boosts the economy. Let’s protect the future, one vaccine at a time. #InvestInHealth

📣 Just launched! @WHOEMRO presents a groundbreaking report on Women’s Cancer in the @WHOEMRO Region. It provides actionable evidence and economic guidance to help Member States save lives and protect economies. 🔗 Read the report: applications.emro.who.int/docs/978929274… #InvestInHealth

The impact of the @un_ncd investment cases:   Ethiopia 🇪🇹 :   “The investment case has been widely used as an advocacy tool since its launch in 2019, as well as a background paper guiding NCD action. For instance, it contributed to building the argument to increase the budget of the NCD team within the Ministry of Health. Findings from the investment case supported collaboration between Ministries of Health and Finance around the taxation on health harming products, that is, tobacco and alcohol. It was also used to support the ban on alcohol advertisement.”   gh.bmj.com/content/bmjgh/…

Shoutout 🎉 to @WHOLIBYA 🇱🇾 team for this successful effort to move forward the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer in the #EMR @WHOEMRO @StJudeResearch #GICC

#CervicalCancer is preventable and curable if detected early. Health workers play a pivotal role by: ➡️ Delivering HPV vaccinations and ➡️ Advanced screening and treatment technologies to women and girls, especially in underserved communities. Find out more: bit.ly/3UUw5f8

Congratulations to the Ministry of Health and Population of Egypt 🇪🇬 for winning 2024 Award 🏆 of the @un_ncd UN NCD Task Force.   For their comprehensive public health approach for screening and treating #NCDs non-communicable diseases at the primary care level and through multisectoral cooperation.   As a result, over 13 million citizens have been recently screened, with millions now being treated for one or more non-communicable diseases.   uniatf.who.int/about-us/news/…

Honored to have our publication on the case for investment in women’s cancer highlighted by Dr Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, Qatar’s Minister of Health, at #WISH7. A vital step towards prioritizing women’s health and advancing impactful solutions. wish.org.qa/research-repor…

By the end of this week, nearly 200,000 families will have lost someone they love to #cancer. And yet there is so much we can do to prevent cancer and save lives. For example, since 2018, we have launched three initiatives to fight cervical, childhood and breast cancers. These initiatives are now in more than 100 countries and are helping to unlock hundreds of millions of US dollars in investment.

Les 4 et 5 novembre, @msps_gov_ma et @WHOEMRO ont réuni des acteurs de la société civile pour déployer le cadre de @WHO d'engagement significatif des personnes ayant une expérience vécue avec les Maladies Non Transmissibles, comme le cancer. Un pas vers une #SantéPourTous !

UN NCD Task Force @un_ncd paves the way for 2025 High-Level Meeting Key actions include positioning Task Force members at the forefront of preparations for the fourth #NCD high-level meeting, organizing a global campaign in 2025 to mark the 20th anniversary of the entering into force of the @WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control @FCTCofficial, raising awareness and increasing investment to unlock the potential of #digitalhealth in saving millions of lives from NCDs, and leveraging national investment cases to demonstrate the financial incentives of scaling up country responses to #mentalhealth and NCDs.   Additionally, the Task Force will incorporate recommendations from its recent joint independent evaluation to continue strengthening UN coordination and impact in addressing NCDs and mental health.   uniatf.who.int/about-us/news/…
