The RCP promotes public health through evidence-based policy work to tackle challenges posed by air pollution and climate change, alcohol, obesity and tobacco.

During 2015 the RCP worked with the West African College of Physicians (WACP) on a clinical training project aimed at reducing the rising burden of diabetes, hypertension and obesity in West Africa.
