دکتر علیرضا رئیسی معاون بهداشت وزارت بهداشت، درمان و آموزش پزشکی

• The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), set by the United Nations in 2015, identify prevention and control of non-communicable diseases as core priorities.
•  Among the non communicable disease risk factors, obesity is particularly concerning and has the potential to negate many of the health benefits that have contributed to increased life expectancy.
• Childhood obesity also is reaching alarming proportions in many countries and poses an urgent and serious challenge.
