Tujiepushe na vifo hivi vya kujitakia!

 

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as
heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, are
the leading cause of mortality in the world.

This invisible epidemic is an
under-appreciated cause of poverty and hinders the economic development of many
countries.

The burden is growing - the number of people, families and
communities afflicted is increasing. Common, modifiable risk factors underlie
the major NCDs. They include tobacco, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet,
insufficient physical activity, overweight/obesity, raised blood pressure,
raised blood sugar and raised cholesterol.

The NCD threat can be overcome using
existing knowledge. The solutions are highly cost-effective. Comprehensive and
integrated action at country level, led by governments, is the means to achieve
success. read more here
