The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has earmarked $250m for asset in the prevention of chronic diseases. The second part of the avoidance and Public Health Fund, announce last week by US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, is designed to promote public health and wellness by developing the nation’s health communications.
An increased national focus on prevention is key to the US functional food and dietary supplement industries, which have invested millions in developing products that can help reduce the risk of certain diseases, including heart disease and diabetes. According to HHS, chronic diseases such as these are in charge for 7 of 10 deaths each year among Americans, and account for 75 percent of the nation’s health spending.
“Many Americans connect in behaviors such as tobacco use, poor diet, physical inactivity, and alcohol abuse, which harm their health,” it said. “Investing in prevention and public health builds the foundation for humanizing the health and well-being of Americans, and for lowering costs in the health care system,” said Secretary Sebelius, adding that invest in proven preventive services “will help patients get the care they need early, avoiding costly and needless care later.”
