PHM urges WHO to prohibit the improper influence from pharmaceutical
companies while addressing noncommunicable diseases
    While watching the 67th World Health assembly, the PHM jointly with
Medicus Mundi International (MMI) developed a statement on noncommunicable
diseases. The statement stated that the control of NCDs is dependent on
addressing their structural and social determinants including through
national and global policies that constrain the tobacco, alcohol, food and
beverages industries, from promoting their products in ways that are
damaging to public health. Read the full
statement<http://www.ghwatch.org/sites/www.ghwatch.org/files/MMI-PHM%20Statement_NCDs.pdf>.
Read the PHM commentary <http://www.ghwatch.org/who-watch/wha67> on the
agenda of the 67th WHA.
