Policies, Interventions and Actions

Commercial Determinants of Noncommunicable Diseases in the WHO European Region

This report highlights the substantial impact of commercial determinants on noncommunicable diseases (‎NCDs)‎ in the WHO European Region. Nearly 7500 deaths per day in the Region are attributed to commercial determinants, such as tobacco, alcohol,processed food, fossil fuels and occupational practices. These commercial products and practices contribute to 25% of all deaths in the Region. The report’s chapters systematically explore various facets of how commercial interests exacerbate NCDs and key strategies used by commercial actors to negatively influence NCD-related policies at the national and international level. The reportalso provides selected case studies from the Region to illustrate key strategies and outcomes of industry influence on health policies.The report then calls for urgent and coordinated action to address the commercial determinants of NCDs. It advocates for building coalitions based on the values of equity, sustainability, and resilience. Public health actors are urged to develop competencies in economic and legal frameworks, enforce transparency, and manage conflicts of interest effectively. The report underscores the need for robust financial reforms and strict regulation to curb industry power and protect public health. By implementing these strategies, the Region can accelerate progress towards global NCD targets and Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

European practical and patient-centred guidelines for adult obesity management in primary care

This article aims to provide obesity management guidelines specifically tailored to GPs, favouring a practical patient-centred approach. The focus is on GP communication and motivational interviewing as well as on therapeutic patient education. The new guidelines highlight the importance of avoiding stigmatization, something frequently seen in different health care settings. In addition, managing the psychological aspects of the disease, such as improving self-esteem, body image and quality of life must not be neglected.

Recommendations on healthy nutrition in Albania

This document guides people towards healthy nutrition and aims to protect and promote health. The key objective is to reduce the possibility of diseases generated from food. Albania uses a food pyramid which represents 6 food groups; cereals are at the bottom of the pyramid, fruits/vegatables on the second level; dairy products and animal source foods on the third level; fats and high sugar prodducts at the top.

Analysis Of The Situation and National Food and Nutrition Action Plan For Albania 2003-2008

Paper described the progress in the implementation of food and nutrition policy in Albania since 2003. It considered its impacts to date. It identified strategic priorities and critical areas/ priorities for Albania's future policy on improving the national food and nutrition situation. The evaluation of the implementation of the 2003-08 Food and Nutrition Action plan was conducted in 2011-2012. Outcome of assessment was that a lot of barriers were faced in the implementation process. These were a lack of instituional/ infrastructural support; lack of intersectoral coordination and motivation; insufficient knowledge and capacities.
