DOHA: Two important health initiatives aimed at controlling and preventing the impact of lifestyle diseases were launched yesterday during the Qatar Foundation’s World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH 2024).
The initiatives aim to combat obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases and reduce high prevalence of these conditions in the country.
As part of this, Qatar is set to adopt a proven, data-driven CARDIO4Cities programme designed to address the growing challenges surrounding cardiovascular health.
CARDIO4Cities is developed and tested by the Novartis Foundation and it uses data to help policymakers develop better healthcare decisions and strategies. The programme has been successfully tested in São Paulo (Brazil), Dakar (Senegal), and Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia).
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in Qatar and in the world. Around 21 million people died around the world due to cardiovascular disease and experts insist that most of those deaths are preventable.
