<div>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 <a href="http://www.ghwatch.org/sites/www.ghwatch.org/files/MMI-PHM%20Statement_NCDs.pdf" target="_blank">statement</a>. Read the <a href="http://www.ghwatch.org/who-watch/wha67" target="_blank">PHM commentary</a> on the agenda of the 67th WHA.<br>
