We're grateful for WHO for developing #REPLACE, a technical package that countries can utilize to develop effective strategies for eliminating #Transfats. This is a resource than can help fast track the achievement of #SDG 3, target 3.4

In the 1st phase of #Transfat elimination campaign, we provided a plethora of evidence as to the health effects of #Transfats. There is a great body of knowledge which can be utilized by #EAC govts to enact TFA policies to guarantee health.

With 2030 deadline for achieving SDGs approaching, I cringe when I see govts across @jumuiya not putting a concerted effort to protect health by legislating on #transfats. What more evidence to prove their cardiovascular health effects?

We make a passionate appeal to @jumuiya to make transfats regulation a top priority. A HEALTHY region, is WEALTHY region! This should be a no brainer! We impress upon EAC countries to ACT NOW! Let us fast track achievement of SDG3 through transfat policies.

Our #Transfat elimination campaign is aimed at reducing the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of deaths. Underpinning our advocacy endeavor is SDG target 3.4, seeking to reduce by 1/3 the deaths from NCDs.

As advocates on Transfats, we're afraid that achieving #SDG 3 might be a pipe dream. We are not doom sayers, but realists. It is astonishing that across @jumuiya, despite evidence on effects of #TFAs, there has been no policy intervention.
