This document summarizes the key points from the Ashgabat Declaration on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases in the Context of Health 2020. The declaration was adopted by health ministers and representatives from WHO European member states who met in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan in December 2013. In the declaration, they commit to accelerating efforts to implement the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, taking whole-of-government approaches to address social determinants of health, and strengthening national policies and health systems to better monitor and respond to NCDs through prevention, treatment, and research.
This document discusses factors that can raise standards of living, including longevity of life, decreasing infant mortality rates, better living conditions, the role of community health centers, and health indices. Longevity is influenced by economic growth, which benefits from increased consumption, improved public services, and reduced unemployment and poverty. Decreasing infant mortality is achieved through immunization, antibiotics, sanitation, and clean water. The government implements housing schemes to create better rural and urban living conditions. Community health centers run by state and territorial governments aim to improve public health under India's universal healthcare system. Health indices are used to determine adjustments to wages, benefits, and some social program costs.
World Health Day 2011 aims to raise awareness about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and promote action to address it. AMR kills annually and jeopardizes healthcare gains. It is a major challenge for treating tuberculosis, malaria, HIV, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and other drug-resistant infections. Weak surveillance systems, inappropriate antibiotic use, and lack of new antibiotics have contributed to the rise of AMR. World Health Day 2011 will advocate for member states to implement comprehensive national plans and collaborate across sectors to combat AMR.
World Health Day 2011 aims to raise awareness about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and promote action to address it. AMR kills annually and jeopardizes healthcare gains. It is a major challenge for treating diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, and gonorrhea as many pathogens are becoming resistant. Weak surveillance systems, poor infection control, and overuse of antibiotics have contributed to the rise of AMR. While strategies exist, more commitment is needed for implementation. World Health Day 2011 will advocate for priority actions and engage stakeholders to strengthen responses to the growing threat of AMR.

Health Education as the empowerment of elderly peopleGiorgio De Gobbi
The document discusses the EHLE Project, which aims to empower elderly people about health through education. It developed a training toolkit to teach health professionals how to provide older adults with knowledge about healthy lifestyles. The project conducted interviews and pilot trainings in multiple countries. Its goal is to help elderly people better understand health information and make informed lifestyle choices by motivating behavior change.
1) Respiratory diseases such as COPD pose a major public health challenge globally and in Moldova.
2) A national strategy is needed to prevent onset and progression through education, limit risk factors like smoking and pollution, and screen at-risk populations.
3) The strategy should also accurately diagnose and treat COPD through quality testing, clinical assessments, and management of comorbidities, while educating patients to self-manage their condition.
The National Health Policy 2017 aims to achieve universal health coverage and deliver quality health care services to all Indians. It sets targets to reduce mortality and disease burdens, and increase access to services by 2025. The policy shifts the focus from sick care to wellness, and outlines objectives to provide primary health care, improve access to secondary and tertiary care, and reduce out-of-pocket health expenditures. It also establishes principles, compares targets between the 2002 and 2017 policies, and details guidelines across several areas including health programs, human resources, regulation, and research.
This document discusses lifestyles and cancer prevention. It notes that unhealthy lifestyles like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and harmful alcohol use account for many cancers in Europe. International plans like the WHO Global Action Plan aim to reduce behavioral risk factors to prevent cancer and other diseases. The document then provides statistics on the most common cancers in Europe, noting variations in incidence rates across regions. It highlights monitoring of risk factors like those done by the Italian surveillance system PASSI as important for guiding prevention efforts. Finally, it introduces the next section which will discuss alcohol and its link to cancer.
Health 2020 is a new European policy framework for health and well-being adopted by the WHO Regional Committee for Europe in 2012.

WHITE PAPER
Together for Health:
A Strategic Approach for the EU 2008-2013
1. WHY A NEW HEALTH STRATEGY?
Health is central in people's lives and needs to be supported by effective policies and actions
in Member States, at EC1 level and at global level.
Member States have the main responsibility for health policy and provision of healthcare to
European citizens. The EC's role is not to mirror or duplicate their work. However, there are
areas where Member States cannot act alone effectively and where cooperative action at
Community level is indispensable. These include major health threats and issues with a cross-
border or international impact, such as pandemics and bioterrorism, as well as those relating
to free movement of goods, services and people.
To carry out this role, cross-sectoral work is required. Article 152 of the EC Treaty says that a
"high level of human health protection shall be ensured in the definition and implementation
of all Community policies and activities". This Strategy reinforces the importance of health in
policies such as the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs, emphasising the links between
health and economic prosperity, and the Citizens' Agenda, recognising people's right to be
empowered in relation to their health and healthcare. Actions in the Strategy represent work
on health across all sectors. Health is found in Treaty articles on the Internal Market,
Environment, Consumer Protection, Social Affairs including the Safety and Health of
Workers, Development Policy, and Research, amongst many others2.
The EC's important role in health policy has been reaffirmed in the Reform Treaty which was
agreed by EU Heads of State and Government in Lisbon on 19 October 2007, and which
proposes to reinforce the political importance of health. A new overall aim on supporting
citizens' wellbeing is expected, as well as an encouragement of cooperation amongst Member
States on health and health services. Work on health at Community level adds value to
Member States' actions, particularly in the area of prevention of illness, including work on
food safety and nutrition, the safety of medical products, tackling smoking, legislation on
blood, tissues and cells, and organs, water and air quality, and the launch of a number of
health-related agencies. However, there are several growing challenges to the health of the
population which require a new strategic approach.
– Firstly, demographic changes including population ageing are changing disease patterns
and putting pressure on the sustainability of EU health systems. Supporting healthy ageing
means both promoting health throughout the lifespan, aiming to prevent h ...
This document discusses progress on the Health 2020 agenda in Europe. It summarizes the key topics and decisions from recent WHO meetings, including adopting a post-2015 health goal to ensure healthy lives and well-being for all at all ages. It also reviews trends showing progress towards reducing premature mortality in Europe, though gaps between countries remain. Implementing Health 2020 requires addressing all determinants of health through public health investments and intersectoral governance approaches. Upcoming priorities include actions on non-communicable diseases, health security, and the environment.
COPD is a serious lung disease affecting 4-10% of European adults that is often preventable through reducing risk factors like smoking and air pollution. It places a high economic burden on healthcare systems and is expected to become the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030. The document calls for 22 concrete actions the EU can take to improve COPD prevention, care, research, education and patient empowerment. These include increasing public awareness campaigns, strengthening tobacco control policies, improving screening and diagnosis, developing rehabilitation programs, increasing dedicated research funding, and supporting patient education initiatives.
This document provides an agenda and scope for a global conference organized by the World Health Organization regarding connecting health and labor by integrating occupational health into primary health care. The conference will bring together experts to develop a global strategy and identify policy options for increasing access to basic occupational health services through primary care. Over the course of two days, there will be discussions on how primary health care reforms present opportunities and challenges for occupational health, the roles of health systems and providers in integrating services, the contributions of labor and private sector partners, financing mechanisms for universal coverage, and experiences from different countries. The goal is to determine best practices and strategic directions for delivering occupational health in the context of primary health care.
The document summarizes discussions from the WHO/Europe Chief Medical Officer's Meeting in Copenhagen on April 12-13, 2012. Key topics included:
1) Tackling Europe's health priorities such as non-communicable diseases through action plans.
2) The new European health policy framework, Health 2020, which aims to improve health and reduce inequities through strategies like empowering individuals and addressing social determinants.
3) Relations between WHO/Europe and the European Union, which have strengthened through collaborative initiatives outlined in a joint declaration.
4) Updates on WHO reforms including the new 12th General Programme of Work and changes to governance structures.
The document summarizes key points from a speech given by the WHO Regional Director for Europe on health challenges in the European region and strategies to address them. The main points are:

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
