\nWorld Health Assembly
\n12.2 Physical activity for health;
\nHonourable Chairperson, Distinguished Delegates,
\nThank you for the opportunity to speak on behalf of World Medical Association (WMA), which
\nrepresents more than 9 million physicians worldwide.
\nWe welcome the draft global action plan on physical activity for the period 2018-2030. As, the
\nnumber of people with non-communicable diseases (NCD) is increasing, national health policies
\nshould be focused more on the risk factors for NCDs and physical inactivity is one of the most
\nimportant. We hope that this global action plan will encourage member states to take this issue fully
\ninto consideration.
\nWe would like to remind member states that healthy lifestyle behaviours are interconnected and that
\nit requires a better protected environment as well. Promotion of healthy diets as well as caring for
\nthe environment should be included in the member states’ intersectoral physical activity policies. To
\ngive an example, global action plan on physical activity should be developed in coordination with
\nother strategies to combat obesity.
\nMonitoring the progress of the program is key. The existing indicators on prevalence of insufficient
\nphysical inactivity need solid data collection by coordinated and well-trained teams with in an
\nideally physician led primary health care system.
\nWe will be glad to see a fixed percentage of national budget for development of primary &
\npreventive healthcare infrastructure and for promotion of healthy lifestyles.
\nThe World Medical Association strongly believes that health care systems should provide the
\nmeans that physicians can offering their patients weight control strategies and nutritional
\ncounselling where appropriate. In addition to that, physician should lead prevention by being role
\nmodels and maintaining own personal health.
\nThe World Medical Association encourages physicians to become community advocates for
\npositive social determinants of health and for sustainable prevention practices.
\nThank you for your kind attention<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"
