Imagine a world where no one dies of preventable chronic disease
C3’s unique community-engagement programme uses an innovative mobile tool that equips local communities in identifying barriers to good health.
C3 engages health professionals, particularly nurses, in supporting their own health so they can do what they do best – care for others.
We provide services (workplace health, strategy consulting) to industries overlooked by traditional public health approaches.
C3 has worked across the world to change people's lives and prevent noncommunicable disease

equivalency of deaths globally
77%

80%
of NCDs are estimated to be preventable. They are driven by modifiable risk factors including tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol, and air pollution.
We are pleased to see the increasing global recognition that chronic disease prevention is a critical issue, especially with the inclusion of chronic disease in the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015.
However, our work has become more urgent as the chronic disease epidemic escalates and health systems buckle under enormous financial demands.
Our expert staff know that only through collaboration can society hope to overcome this public-health crisis. This includes helping individuals choose more healthy behaviours.
Why Chronic Disease?
C3 has changed my perspective on how I see things in my own community. People really have no choice due to the paucity of resources around healthy eating and active living
