Obesity is a growing global health concern that affects individuals across all ages, backgrounds, and communities. It is linked to a wide range of health risks, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, joint problems, and mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.
Drug and substance abuse is not just a personal crisis-it is a public health emergency with wide-reaching effects on individuals, families, and entire communities. It damages the body and mind, disrupts relationships, increases risk of violence and homelessness, and leads to long-term physical and mental health complications.
Substance abuse remains one of the most devastating health crises of our time. It impacts not only physical and mental health but also dismantles families, derails futures, and leads to cycles of trauma, crime, and poverty.
Disability is not just a medical condition-it is a diverse and lived human experience. It includes physical, sensory, intellectual, and mental impairments that may limit participation in daily activities.

The first years of life-especially the first 1,000 days-are a critical window for lifelong health and development. During this period, infants require proper nutrition, nurturing care, safe environments, timely vaccinations, and stimulation to support both physical growth and cognitive development.
As global life expectancy increases, the population of older adults is growing rapidly-and so is the responsibility to ensure they live not only longer, but healthier, safer, and more dignified lives.
Harmful lifestyle habits-such as substance abuse, unsafe sexual practices, poor nutrition, sedentary behavior, and tobacco use-are among the leading contributors to chronic illness, mental health decline, and premature death. These behaviors don’t just impact the individual;
Sexual health is an essential part of a person’s overall physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. It is not limited to the absence of disease-it includes positive, respectful experiences of sexuality and relationships, and the ability to have safe, informed, and consensual choices about one’s body.
Our organs-such as the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and brain-are the core systems that keep the body functioning. Yet every year, millions of people experience organ-related diseases due to poor lifestyle habits, addiction, infections, environmental exposures, and lack of access to preventative care.
