Every 2 hours a Ugandan dies from NCDs. Many begin with poor diets in childhood.
As we promote breastfeeding this week, let’s also protect children from foods high in sugar, salt and unhealthy fats. @MinoofHealthUG pass #FOPWL#CefrohtUg
We thank the Ministry of Health for its openness to civil society throughout the development of the Nutrient Profile Model. We ask for that partnership to continue as FOPWL is drafted. @MinofHealthUG#CefrohtUg#FOPWL#NutrientProfileModel
We ask the Ministry of Health to ensure that the FOPWL regulation applies to all packaged foods and beverages sold in Uganda, whether locally produced or imported. @MinofHealthUG#CefrohtUg#FOPWL#NutrientProfileModel
Uganda's non communicable disease burden is not inevitable. It is the result of a food environment we can regulate. @MinofHealthUG the Nutrient Profile Model is signed. Please pass FOPWL. #CefrohtUg#FOPWL#NutrientProfileModel
Breastfeeding gives babies the best start. The food environment gives them the next start.
Let’s protect both. Thank you @MinofHealthUG for the NPM. Let’s complete it with #FOPWL + restrictions on marketing unhealthy food to children. #CefrohtUg
Dear schools, guard your customers, don’t allow the profit mongers rush them to the grace
@UCC_Official restrict marketing of Utra processed and Sugar Sweetened beverages to children

Treating diet-related diseases like cancer and diabetes is expensive. @WHO shows unhealthy food high in salt, fat, and sugar causes these diseases and increases healthcare costs for families and governments. Front-of-pack warning labelling helps reduce junk food consumption.
