At this year’s 77th World Health Assembly, Resolve to Save Lives and NCD Alliance cohosted an in-person side event, as part of our collaboration with WHO, about the importance of focusing on salt reduction within comprehensive food policies. Representatives from Cameroon, Singapore, Thailand and Colombia shared how their countries have prioritized policies that reduce salt and are seeing results. Four countries—Bangladesh, Malaysia, Nigeria, and Singapore—made new commitments to implement comprehensive policies that will protect at least 37,000 people from the harms of eating too much salt.
