20 Aug 2021 --- Charity organization Bloomberg Philanthropies has channeled a US$31 million investment into the expansion of its Partnership for Healthy Cities network into six new cities – Bucharest, Romania; Cairo, Egypt; Córdoba, Argentina; Dublin, Ireland; Greater Manchester, UK; and Warsaw, Poland. This network, now comprising 70 cities, supports mayors implementing proven, high-impact nutrition policies or programs to reduce non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in their communities. NCDs such as heart disease, diabetes and respiratory diseases cause an estimated 80 percent of deaths across the globe each year, the foundation notes.
