WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan has recently approved WHO’s co-sponsorship of the ISPAH 2016 Congress. This signifies the recognition of how the Congress will greatly contribute to the advancement of the physical activity agenda among and within countries of the world, as well as inspiring people towards the common goal to promote healthy living for all. 

The ISPAH International Congress on Physical Activity and Public Health is one of the key global forums on physical activity and public health. Originally conceived in Atlanta in 2006, the Congress has played a crucial role in building commitment and network in advancing a global call for enhancing physical activity across various life spectrums. This includes sport, transport, health, environment, education, culture and economy. Every 2 years the congress brings together delegates from around the world while providing a platform for key stakeholders to engage in dialogues on major issues affecting the progress of global physical activity levels.
