ENSH Global Network for Tobacco Free Health Care Services is an independent, international, non-profit association whose main aim is to develop a common strategy amongst health care services active in tobacco prevention and cessation worldwide.Since its creation in 1999, the ENSH has developed a practice based and continuously evaluated concept to establish comprehensive tobacco free policies in hospitals and health care facilities. The ENSH proposes the implementation of its 10 policy Code and quality standards and the sharing of information and experiences through coordinated activities and projects. During the last 10 years, the ENSH concept has also become an excellent advocacy tool to enhance the involvement of health professionals in tobacco control. Today, the ENSH-Global network is active in more than 20 countries involving more than 1300 hospitals and health care facilities “indirectly” reaching more than one million health professionals.
