WHO Webinar: Protecting Alcohol Control Policies from Vested Interests

Translating public health evidence into policy changes is not a linear process due to concurrent priorities and conflicting agendas. Evidence shows that protecting policy development from vested interests is essential to decrease the burden of diseases. This webinar reflects on the governance tools that countries can apply to protect and promote health and well-being when developing alcohol control policies. The target audience is policymakers, government representatives, civil society groups, media and researchers. This event is co-organized by the Italian National Institute of Health, Movendi International, the Pan American Health Organization and the Department of Health Promotion at the World Health Organization.

Women, Alcohol Consumption and the COVID-19 Pandemic

This webinar will discuss issues related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women's health and how alcohol marketing, policies and interventions have affected them during this period in terms of alcohol consumption, as well as their implications for equity and the building of health systems that are responsive to gender differences and the needs of women across their life span.

Launch of the High-level Commission on Mental Health and COVID-19

The pandemic has therefore created an opportunity for strengthening and improving mental health using transformational approaches to build back better and fairer. To achieve this, however, far greater political will, financing, community mobilization, and social change are needed to ensure that mental health is afforded the priority it deserves, as part of rebuilding health and social systems, post COVID-19. To this end, the Pan American Health Organization has established a High-Level Commission on Mental Health and COVID-19 to guide the Organization and its Member States in improving mental health in the Americas.
