Representatives of WHO and Belarusian ministries discuss programs to reduce consumption of salt, alcohol and tobacco

The prevention and control of non-communicable diseases should be conducted by all departments of the country. At the moment, representatives of WHO and the ministries of Belarus are discussing programs to reduce the consumption of salt, alcohol and tobacco. These habits reduce labor productivity, so the losses for the economy are almost 13 times higher than the costs of treating patients who do not lead a healthy lifestyle.
