[Dr Sania Nishtar @SaniaNishtar]

Non Communicable Diseases are front and centre of the global health discourse. Our emphasis has been on lack of funding for NCDs, but the issue is much deeper. My comment in @bmj https://t.co/PTNAKpnCeq

Very delighted to launch national HPV vaccination program today! We’ll vaccinate 1.1 million girls this year to protect them from cervical cancer caused by HPV infection. Indeed very grateful for the continued support of @GAVI & all our partners. Cervical cancer is PREVENTABLE!

NCDs have 5 main risk factors. It’s time to think about how new technologies – for example, #bigdata and electronic health records – can be used to reduce harmful behaviours. #beatNCDs
