About Nasjonalforeningen for folkehelsen (The National Association of Public Health): Is a voluntary humanitarian organization founded in 1910 (which has The King as its patron), with hundreds of local branches around the country, whose purpose is to combat cardiovascular diseases and dementia. The effort is mainly funded by fundraising and gifts.
About the organization's two annual Research awards, handed out by HM today: Is awarded to a researcher or research-group in Norway who has achieved significant results in their field and helped to increase the knowledge-base. Hjerteforskningsprisen (The Heart-research-prize), which was awarded for the first time in 1999, was given to professor, Torbjørn Omland, while Demensforskningsprisen (The Dementia-research-prize), which was first awarded in 2016, was given to professor emeritus, Knut Engedal.
Each prize consists of an amount of 200,000 NOK (which must be used for research-related work) and a graphic-drawing.
Some more photos from Scanpix, if they don't show, click on them more than once. - The King was welcomed by The Mayor of Oslo, Marianne Borgen; and the association's leadership:
