First Meeting of Working Group to Develop Materials for World Heart Day and World Diabetes Day
On 28 August 2025, a newly appointed working group by the Ministry of Health convened at the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) to begin preparations for this year’s World Heart Day and World Diabetes Day awareness raising.
The group brings together experts from NIPH, the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Integrated Health Services (IHS), and the Accessible Quality Healthcare (AQH) projects. In the first meeting, members outlined a roadmap for creating promotional and educational materials aimed at raising public awareness about cardiovascular health and diabetes prevention.
The discussions focused on defining key themes, content formats, and coordination mechanisms to ensure impactful outreach. The materials will serve to educate and empower communities to take preventive action against two of the most prevalent chronic health conditions worldwide.
This initiative is supported by IHS and reflects a shared commitment to promoting healthier lifestyles and improving public health outcomes across the country.
