The Healthy Caribbean Coalition recently launched their Childhood Obesity Prevention Petition as part of their Civil Society Action Plan for 2017-2019.
The aim of the petition is to raise awareness of childhood obesity in the Caribbean and to influence the region’s leaders to champion and implement critical policies that will improve the health of our children, reduce childhood obesity and prevent the associated non-communicable diseases.
In today’s episode we touch on why this campaign is important, what specific policies the HCC is encouraging governments in the Caribbean to introduce to tackle childhood obesity and how you can get involved by signing their petition.
For more information on the Healthy Caribbean Coalition you can visit their website or follow them on social media.
