The Moroccan minister of health and social protection Khalid Ait Taleb, will be taking part in the world health organization’s new committee of promoting social links.
The commission is put in place to address loneliness as a phenomenon that leads to death, in order to find a solution for several countries with high prevalence of it.
The Commission, which is co-chaired by Dr. Vivek Murthy, US general surgeon, and Chido Mpemba, African Union Envoy on Youth, is composed of 11 policymakers, opinion leaders and champions of different causes.
Lasting three years, WHO’s commission will study the central role of social connections in improving the health of people of all ages and will present solutions for establishing social connections on a large scale.
The Commission will examine how connections improve the well-being of communities and societies and help drive economic progress, social development and innovation.
Lack of social connections leads to a risk of early death equal to or greater than other better-known risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol abuse, physical inactivity, obesity and air
