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.
Safety and Mobility
Within the Social Determinants of Health Department, the Safety and Mobility (SAM) Unit promotes sustainable solutions to the safety and mobility challenges of today, including road traffic injuries, drowning and falls. The SAM Unit does so by providing strategic leadership on these topics; developing evidence, norms and standards, including implementation tools; building national capacities to address these issues; and fostering global advocacy. The SAM Unit engages a broad range of partners and networks to scale up effective action and track progress in countries.
