HEALTHCARE COST SAVINGS

WHO guidelines for sodium could prevent 3 lakh deaths

The research indicates that around 1.7 million new cases of CVD and 7 lakh new cases of CKD could also be avoided compared to current practices. Reducing sodium levels in packaged foods could save nearly $800 million and prevent 2.4 million cases of heart disease, strokes, and kidney disease, potentially totalling $2.5 billion in savings over a lifetime.
