With a substantive stocktaking and tangible, measurable results that are changing the landscape for public health in the country, the official closing event of the National Action against Childhood Obesity in Greece has taken place.

This major initiative was implemented by the Ministry of Health in cooperation with UNICEF, as part of the National Recovery Plan “Greece 2.0” and with funding from the European Union.

The data presented show that this effort has succeeded in changing Greek families’ attitudes to diet and exercise.
