The BJSM’s guest is Professor Fiona Bull, MBE – Program Manager of WHO Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases Management Team, Geneva, Switzerland. @fiona_bull
The conversation gives the listener a 20-minute gem that covers the following points
What is the global action plan?
How was it developed?
Why was this needed? How does it differ from the 7 investments?
What is the overall goal? (15% reduction in physical inactivity by 2030)
What can the BJSM community and how can we follow progress?
The answer to the last question is via the WHO ‘Let’s be active’ page:
