According to PAHO/WHO Anguilla has developed a National NCD Action Plan 2016-2025 and opened a National Chronic Disease unit which shows tackling NCDs are a major priority for the Anguillan government. A WHO Stepwise survey was conducted for Anguilla in 2016 and served to collect baseline data, including data on obesity, which would support the implementation of the National Action plan for the prevention and control of NCDs. The report for the STEPS survey was released in Februay 2018 and since the results are intended to inform the action plan this suggests the action plan is yet to be fully implemented. The stepwise survey recognises obesity as an issue in Anguilla and suggests several policy actions to aid in NCD prevention and control including improving dietary practices. A 2016 situation analysis of children in Anguilla recommended that a programme for preventing and controlling childhood obesity be developed. This suggests that the NCD action plan may not cover childhood obesity specifically : PAHO/WHO 2017 Country Report - Anguilla Read more... |
