Kuwait warns of rise in chronic diseases in GCC region |
||
|
Kuwaiti's Assistant Undersecretary of Health Dr. Yousef Al-Nisif reviewed on Thursday the efforts of Kuwait and the Gulf Cooperation Council states to face the spread of non-communicable chronic diseases in the region.
He was addressing the General Assembly of the World Health Organization (WHO), and noted that the GCC countries have started with different steps in this regard, including the Kuwait Declaration on diabetes and the Riyadh Declaration for cardiovascular disease. He noted that the strategic directions of the GCC include the application of Network Initiative "faith" of the Regional WHO Office in the region and the Gulf plan to raise awareness of chronic non-infectious disease and the conducting of the World Health Survey and the adoption of the Global Strategy for health, food, and movement. He also explained that the GCC is seeking to update the operational plan for combating the spread of diabetes and it has now entered its third phase |
