@Morgan_ke1 @georgeinstitute Trans fat elimination in Kenya would not only be cost-saving, but also potentially lifesaving for thousands. @MOH_Kenya @KEBS_ke the time for action is now! Trans fat elimination can save lives. Learn more: tinyurl.com/3tf5cj4w . . . . #TransFatFreeKenya #TransFatFreeEAC
🎊 Excited to see this press release featuring our latest published research where we found that thousands of deaths and heart attacks could be prevented - and billions of Kenyan shillings saved - if the country restricted trans fat in food to WHO limits. georgeinstitute.org/media-releases…

Eating too much salt is one of the top risk factors for heart disease, stroke, and death. WHO’s first global report on sodium intake reduction shows only 5% of WHO Member States are protected by mandatory and comprehensive sodium reduction policies👉bit.ly/3l0h24K
Today @WHO launched its report on global salt reduction policy implementation. All 194 Member States committed to⬇️sodium intake by 30% by 2030, but only 9 have fully established the recommended policies. We are off track to achieve the target explains @DrTedros @ResolveTSL
