NCD Alliance Builds Capacity to Advocate for the Elimination of Industrially Produced Transfats

Participants at the recent NCD Alliance 2-day training
 Participants at the recent NCD Alliance 2-day training workshop for civil society advocates to build capacity for the Elimination of Industrially-Produced Trans Fats (iTFAs)
During the week of the 72nd World Health Assembly in May, the NCD Alliance hosted a 2-day training workshop for civil society advocates to build capacity for the Elimination of Industrially-Produced Trans Fats (iTFAs). HCC Executive Director, Maisha Hutton, participated in the training. The aim of the training was to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop impactful and effective advocacy strategies and campaign in their countries to eliminate industrially-produced trans fats (iTFAs) by increasing their: i) knowledge of WHO’s REPLACE Package and why iTFAs are a public health issue; ii) coalition building and communication skills to enhance the role of civil society in support of the REPLACE package; iii) understanding of legal and policy considerations regarding iTFA elimination; and iv) understanding of arguments commonly used by industry and how to counter them.
Participants at the recent NCD Alliance 2-day training
TFAs have no nutritional value whatsoever and kill over half a million people a year and the evidence on their health harm is indisputable. They can be replaced without changing the quality and price of products and many countries (over 50) have enacted and implemented (over 30) TFA policies, thereby demonstrating the political feasibility of regulation. TFA regulation in the Caribbean is weak (see NCD Progress Monitor 2017 | POS Grid | COP Scorecard). Current data on the levels and sources of TFA in the food supply are needed in order to inform recommendations for legislation. The REPLACE Package provides tools within the modules which can guide this type of assessment.

Please contact us at the hcc@healthycaribbean.org if you are interested in collaborating in this area.
Trans Fat Free by 2023
The NCD Alliance recently released an excellent report Trans Fat Free by 2023 which presents case studies of six countries in different regions of the world that have enacted policies to eliminate industrially-produced trans fatty acids/trans fat (TFA) from their food supply.

The report provides civil society organizations (CSOs) and policy-makers around the world with examples of successful strategies for enacting and implementing TFA policies.
The report also provides best practices, lessons learned, and recommendations based on the experience of policy-makers, advocates, and researchers involved in such efforts.

The PAHO/WHO Advisory Group on Advancing the NCD Agenda in the Caribbean Meeting

PAHO/WHO Advisory Group

The PAHO/WHO Advisory Group on advancing the NCD Agenda in the Caribbean was formed in 2016 to advise the PAHO Director on strategies, policies and collaborations regarding NCD prevention and control, promotion of investments in health, advocacy, as well as whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches, in the Caribbean subregion. This advisory group is now in its second 2-year term, and is chaired by Sir George Alleyne, Director Emeritus of PAHO/WHO, with representation of CARICOM, CARPHA, the HCC, The UWI, and technical and diplomatic representation of the subregional Member States. HCC President, Sir Trevor Hassell, is a member of the group.

The Advisory Group met at PAHO HQ on 4 June to review achievements and concerns in the Caribbean subregion. The Caribbean contributions to the recent World Health Assembly in Geneva were noted, as was Professor Peter Figueroa’s acknowledgement as a global public health leader. Prevention and control of tobacco use is a key public health measure that saves lives, and there has been some progress in the region in this area. PAHO has been providing technical cooperation to countries towards the effective implementation of their Tobacco Control Acts, as well as assisting countries in their efforts to pass or amend tobacco control legislation consistent with the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) mandates. CROSQ is leading the effort to develop and revise nutrition labelling standards, and PAHO is providing technical support in the public health interest.

Sir Trevor Hassell updated the group on HCC’s work and shared HCC’s recently launched Technical Brief, First United Nations High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage - Technical Brief for CARICOM  Countries: A Contribution from Civil Society, which was developed in recognition of the upcoming 1st UN High Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage in September 2019. For more about the Brief, including a look at HCC’s eight advocacy priorities and the Executive Summary please visit this link for more information.

The negative economic impact of NCDs on health and development was discussed as an issue of tremendous concern, as well as the importance of investing in disease prevention and control, which leads to reduce health expenditures and significant returns on such investments. This was emphasized by the Health Economics Unit of The UWI. In earlier work collaborative work between PAHO and Harvard University, it was shown that Jamaica would lose US$ 18.45 billion as a result of NCDs and mental health conditions during the period 2015 -2030. But follow up work with RTI projected that for every JMD spent to tackle risk factors or improve treatment, would yield a minimum JMD 2.10 return on that investment in Jamaica.

PAHO had also worked with Member States of the Americas, led by Barbados to achieve a resolution of the Organization of American States at its Forty-eighth Regular Session, titled Strengthening Multi-sectoral responses to the crisis of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the Americas.  This was the very first time that a health-related resolution was approved by this body.

The Advisory Group noted the critical importance of political leadership at the highest levels to reverse the impact of NCDs. The drivers of NCDs, principally tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, physical inactivity and unhealthy diets, exist largely outside the health system. CARICOM has agreed to achieve the goal of 100% tobacco smoke free public and work spaces by September 2022. This will only be possible if national leaders are fully supportive. Similarly, leadership at the highest levels is critical for efforts to improve nutrition in the region, where the majority of the populations are overweight or obese. There is also need for improved coordination between Ministries of Health and Ministries of Finance for implanting interventions to reduce consumption of products such as tobacco, alcohol and sugar sweetened beverages which are harmful to health

Power, Progress, Change Women Deliver 2019, Miss. Ashley Foster-Estwick Women Deliver Young Leader and HCC Youth Advocate describes her experiences. Ashley also had the opportunity to ask few questions of 19 year-old Janece Daniel of I Am A Girl Barbados, who spoke on three panels hosted by Women Deliver.

Vancouver, Canada set the stage for the largest conference on women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights for the 5th time in a row; thanks to a leading advocacy group Women Deliver. Women Deliver describes itself as a global advocacy organisation working towards gender equality through reducing maternal mortality and achieving universal access to reproductive health. Women alone do not make up the composite of workers, volunteers and advocates who strive to promote what the group calls its unwavering commitment to girls and women. The denotation of Women Deliver simply strives to place a unique, critical and focused lens on women’s health and rights.

Women, men and youth from every corner of the world descended on the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver from June 3rd to June 6th for a four- day dialogue, many of the youth represented were Ambassadors from the Caribbean Community some travel scholarship recipients, speakers and bona fide Women Deliver Young Leaders. These movers and shakers commit their daily lives to serving humanity with an emphatic understanding that the female identity and prowess must be protected. It was an awe-inspiring privilege to have access to this space as a Young Leader with the conservative winds of right-wing agendas demanding a back slide in women’s rights, communities like Women Deliver offer affirmation that power, progress and change are reachable.

NCD Alliance: A new policy brief launched recently at Women Deliver Conference by NCD Alliance and The George Institute for Global Health, outlines some of the gender-specific dimensions of NCDs that Universal Health Coverage (UHC) must address, and presents a number of recommendations to improve the health and wellbeing of girls and women.

With NCDs causing two of every three deaths of women each year, action to implement UHC must recognise and address sex and gender differences in NCD risk factors, care pathways and outcomes if services are to be targeted effectively and deliver healthy lives and well-being for women and girls around the world.

Regional Stakeholders Meet to Shake the Salt Habit

Participants at the Regional Stakeholders Meeting

HCC Director Dr Victor Coombs was one of more than fifty government officials, manufacturers, distributors, restaurants owners, civil society representatives and stakeholders from other private and public sectors, gathered in Jamaica from 5th June, 2019 for a two-day meeting to tackle the scourge of salt consumption in the Region.

Hypertension, strokes, heart disease and diabetes are among the five leading causes of death in the Caribbean. These diseases represent not only a major health crisis, but also a serious economic challenge. The increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke has been associated with excessive salt intake and hypertension.

“The Caribbean is well known for its high dietary salt consumption from processed foods and as an added ingredient during cooking and at the table. Studies have shown that most people consume too much salt, around twice the recommended maximum level of intake. This high consumption increases the risk for high blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease,” stated Dr. C. James Hospedales, CARPHA Executive Director in his address at the opening of the meeting.

Bahamas Health Minister Declares War on NCDs and Signals Intention to Introduce ‘Bahamas Moves’ as Part of the ‘Caribbean Moves’ Initiative

The Bahama Journal: Health Minister Dr. Duane Sands yesterday revealed some sobering statistics surrounding non communicable diseases in The Bahamas, and it all boils down to obesity.

Leading off debate in parliament on the 2019/2020 budget, he said that four out of five Bahamians are overweight and 49. 2 per cent are obese. 

“For sake of comparison 39 per cent of the world population were overweight in 2016 and 13 per cent were obese. In a (meta-analysis) study of 2.88 million people, obesity was associated with a hazard ratio of 1.18, which basically means that just by being obese, you have a 25 per cent of dying just because you’re obese,” he said. 

The Minister added that obesity also heightens one’s chance of getting cancer, type two diabetes, renal failure, or even stroke. There are also plans to introduce “Bahamas moves” - a program that’s a part of the “Caribbean Moves” initiative geared towards encouraging increased physical activity.

Early detection is the key to reducing the numbers of women with cervical cancer.

That was the advice of Sharon Rowley, wife of the Prime Minister, as she spoke with reporters at yesterday's third installation of the Health Ministry's Pap Smear Initiative at the Women’s Centre, Mt Hope Women's Hospital.

She said this was one initiative she fully endorsed as a patron of the Caribbean Association of Oncology and Haematology, a non-governmental institution, regional, which looked to improving cancer care throughout the Caribbean.

Barbados Today: More Barbadian women are being diagnosed with uterine cancer, which has now taken over as the leading gynecological cancer seen here. Six years ago that spot was taken by cervical cancer.

The new head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Dr Vikash Chatrani, who revealed the development to members of the media during the launch of the 2019 edition of Sagicor Gynathon, said the shift came about primarily because Barbados’ cervical cancer detection rates have improved.

3 Interventions Could Prevent 94M Early Deaths by 2040

3 Interventions Could Prevent 94M Early Deaths by 2040

Cardiovascular Business: Harvard researchers have identified three health interventions that, if implemented and followed closely over the next quarter-century, could prevent up to 94 million early deaths from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) like CVD.

“Three specific interventions have a potential to save lives on a large scale: treating high blood pressure, reducing dietary sodium intake and eliminating artificial trans fat intake,” Kontis and co-authors wrote in Circulation, where they published their findings June 10. “However, there has been limited progress addressing them, despite the fact that there are cost-effective and feasible interventions with substantial impact on preventing NCDs worldwide.”
