Support GNOME: The Global Nutrition Observatory for Medical Nutrition Education

Every day, millions of people turn to healthcare professionals for guidance on how to live healthier lives. Yet most doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers receive little to no formal training in nutrition - even though nutrition is one of the most powerful tools for preventing and managing disease.

This gap doesn’t just affect individual patient care. It worsens health inequalities, slows progress toward healthier food systems, and leaves healthcare professionals without the knowledge they want and need to support their patients.

It’s time for a global change.

GNOME is the world’s first dedicated global hub designed to track, strengthen, and accelerate nutrition education for medical and healthcare professionals - everywhere.

Our mission is simple but ambitious:

Equip every future doctor, nurse, and health professional with the nutrition knowledge they need to improve lives.

GNOME builds on groundbreaking international work that revealed significant disparities and gaps in how nutrition is taught in medical schools worldwide. Now we’re taking the next step: creating a sustainable, continuously updated global observatory that can drive real, measurable change.
