Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.This network, called the Mega Country Health Promotion Network, was bora out of recognition that these highly populated countries have the potential to impact world health by working together to strengthen infra-structure for tackling common global health issues.

In 1998, in response to critical trans-national health issues and the transition of global disease burden from communicable to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) ( Murray and Lopez, 1996), the World Health Organization (WHO) formed a network among these countries to combine efforts towards improving world health. Together, these diverse countries represent over 60% of the world’s population. Eleven countries in the world have a population at or exceeding 100 million: Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, and the United States.
