Another milestone towards the end of the Commercial Determinants of Health The report builds on the Lancet series on the Commercial Determinants of Health, and it explores how commercial interests exacerbate non-communicable diseases, as well as key strategies used by commercial interests to influence NCD-related policies negatively, at both national and international level. The European Public Health Alliance has led Chapter 13, "The power of people's voice matters: the actions that citizens and civil society can take to reduce commercial determinants of NCDs", directed by our Policy Manager on NCD Prevention, Alessandro Gallina. The recent European elections could represent a turning point for addressing the commercial determinants of NCDs and improving our health. https://lnkd.in/ehY3ZFhE #PublicHealth #Europe #StayInformed #StayEmpowered

1moWhat upsets me the most is the health care system here and the state of Tennessee does not take SLE lupus seriously and allowing people like myself to go without insurance I'll try to take my QMB away that I was entitled to through Medicare and you know what happens with lupus It attacks here kidneys, liver, respiratory, brain and your heart not to mention inflammation in your joints You know I'm suffering 24/7 in chronic pain and I can't get the help or assistance that I need and it's pretty darn sad that I have to suffer like this at 62 years old.
