Non Communicable Diseases
Injuries, Mental Health and Non Communicable Diseases
Injuries, Mental Health and Non Communicable Diseases cause millions of premature deaths and disabled lives across Africa. These conditions also lead to annual economic loss of billions of US dollars. In the last two (2) decades, Sub-Saharan Africa has experienced a complex Epidemiological Transition with a backlog of infectious diseases and a growing burden of non-communicable diseases.
We are building capacity at all health sector levels to address the inevitably growing burden of Injuries, Mental Health and Non Communicable Diseases.
