Our Story

We all know that tobacco consumption is the single most preventable cause of death and disability in the world. It follows that the role of healthcare services is vital - for providing appropriate care to users of all tobacco products, for providing safe environments and for being a strong voice for action against tobacco.

The Global Network for Tobacco Free Healthcare Services, commonly called the 'Global Network', is an independent, international, non-profit association that was formed in 2009 to facilitate action on tobacco within healthcare services. The Global Network's mission is to advocate, recruit and enable healthcare services and professionals globally to implement and sustain effective tobacco management and cessation policies in accordance with the WHO Framework Convention for Tobacco Control.
