Regional trade integration must not undermine Kenya’s public health gains. As the country engages in regional trade processes, safeguards must prevent policy loopholes from weakening #tobaccocontrol measures and ensure health remains a priority.
#ProtectHealthInTrade#TIMRKenya
Regional trade and public health protection should reinforce one another. Transparent processes, evidence-based scrutiny and meaningful health-sector participation can help keep tobacco control in view.
#ProtectHealthInTrade#TIMRKenya
Kenya can pursue regional trade while protecting public health. This requires vigilance against trade provisions that could weaken #tobaccocontrol and a commitment to ensuring public health priorities are reflected in trade policy decisions.
#ProtectHealthInTrade#TIMRKenya
The question is not whether Kenya should engage in regional trade. It is how to do so while protecting public health. Trade processes must not create loopholes that weaken #tobaccocontrol measures. Keep health in the conversation.
