Did you know that each hour, five men die from conditions that are potentially preventable?  Or that men live on average six years less than women ? 

Men's health concerns include impotence, heart disease, prostate, diabetes, obesity and more.

Foundation 49 is a direct response to this health crisis affecting 49% of the population - and is dedicated to improving the health status of all men.  Our vision is 'to reduce the number of men dying from preventable conditions through raising health awareness and encouraging regular check-ups'.
