The Partnership for Healthy Cities, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Vital Strategies, is a global network of 74 cities whose mayors have committed to preventing NCDs—including cancer, diabetes, heart disease and chronic lung disease—and injuries through proven interventions.
