The Pan American Health Organization cordially invites you to participate on Wednesday 14 October, 2020, at 12.30 pm EDT, in the webinar "Estimating alcohol harms using the International Model of Alcohol Harms and Policies (InterMAHP)". This session is part of the Alcohol and Health Webinar series.Â
On Wednesday, November 18, join PAHO for a new session of the Alcohol and Health webinar series, titled "WHO SAFER package to implement the Global Alcohol Strategy."
In this webinar, the WHO SAFER initiative will be presented and discussed from a regional perspective.
From Movendi International, Maik Dünnbier will also be among the lineup of panelists.
The event is jointly organized by the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe, Movendi International, NCD Alliance and PAHO.
The coronavirus crisis has brought into sharp focus the burden alcohol harms places on health systems in particular and societies in general. The pandemic has also shown that evidence-based alcohol policy interventions are impactful in protecting people and promoting health system functioning. But the alcohol industry is also attempting to exploit the crisis for their commercial benefits.
Major reports have provided unique and timely insights into these lethal interactions between alcohol and COVID-19.
Key guidance from the World Health Organization has provided guidance to people and member states on how to prevent and reduce alcohol harm during the pandemic and how to get through the crisis better through alcohol control.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed alcohol use patterns in a variety of ways. These changes are, in part, the result of the public policies aimed at controlling the spread of the virus as well as changes in alcohol policies. The objective of this webinar is to review the current situation regarding alcohol consumption, policies and responses in the Americas in the context of COVID-19, and to discuss what can be done as we move forward to reduce the harmful use of alcohol and build more resilient health systems while we continue to contend with the COVID-19 pandemic.
