  2. Support men and boys to engage in healthier lifestyle choices / activities.
  3. Encourage the early detection and treatment of health difficulties in males.

During 2023, the theme for Ireland will be 'The Picture of Health' and the call to men (and those who support the health of men) will be what does that look like to you?
