The WHO Foundation and Novo Nordisk have announced a collaboration to address childhood obesity in India through awareness programmes and preventive health strategies. The initiative focuses on developing a scalable school-based health programme promoting physical activity, healthier environments, early health-risk identification, and primary healthcare readiness.
Schools will integrate health education and screening into daily activities. The partnership aligns with growing global concern over obesity-related noncommunicable diseases like cardiovascular conditions and type 2 diabetes, especially among children and adolescents.
