Health Determinants, Promotion and Prevention
We advance health for all by working with governments and partners to address the social determinants of health and the major risk factors for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries. Through leadership, multisectoral collaboration and evidence-based guidance, we tackle the root causes of NCDs and injuries and provide specialized technical assistance to support policies and programmes that create healthier, more equitable societies.
