About the NATTI Network

The Nicotine Addiction and Tobacco Use Treatment Initiative (NATTI) is a global effort aimed at enhancing the capacity of health professionals and their organizations to address tobacco and nicotine dependence through evidence-based education, policy advocacy, and collaborative networks. NATTI is spearheaded by the Center for International Cooperation on Tobacco Control (CCICT) of the Ministry of Public Health of Uruguay and The Addiction Training for Health Professionals Initiative at NextGenU.org, a pioneer in democratizing health education.

 

With tobacco use remaining the leading cause of preventable death worldwide, NATTI seeks to turn the tide by empowering health professionals to intervene effectively and support those struggling with nicotine addiction.

Our Vision

A world where all tobacco users, especially in low- and middle-income countries, have access to affordable and effective tobacco cessation services, free from the influence of the tobacco industry.
Key Objectives
  • Strengthen training and commitment among health professionals and students in evidence-based tobacco dependence interventions.
  • Advocate for the integration of cessation strategies into national health systems and professional education curricula.
  • Foster knowledge exchange, research innovation, and best practices among network members.
