Public health report seeks change in health 'culture'

A new public health report reveals that the Isle of Man has a higher life expectancy than England, but has more deaths from drug misuse per capita.

Added to this, 1 in 5 adults are drinking harmful amounts of alcohol.

Released yesterday morning, (Tues 24th), the document compiles statistics to outline the state of health and wellbeing in the Isle of Man.

You can read the report in its entirety at

Dr Henrietta Ewart has been the Director of Public Health since April 2015, and says the publication is not just about raising awareness, but paving the way for positive, institutional change.
