✅ NCDs cannot wait — and neither can our response.

At the 2nd Primary Health Care Congress in Nairobi, Dr. Florence Temu, Country Director of @AmrefTanzania , joined global health leaders during a partner-led session hosted by Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology to discuss strengthening the management of non-communicable diseases in rural settings.

💡 NCDs remain underfinanced and face major human resource gaps, particularly in rural communities.

@DrFlo6 emphasized the need to integrate NCD services into every health financing envelope and program rather than treating them as stand alone initiatives. She also called for health insurance schemes to include essential NCD services from screening and diagnostics to treatment while ensuring medicines and services remain affordable.
👩🏾‍⚕️ Community Health Workers are also central to expanding access through task shifting and community-based service delivery.

Her key message highlighted the “3E approach” to NCD control:
🔍 Early detection through community screening
💊 Early diagnosis and treatment with access to essential diagnostics and medicines
🚑 Early referral to the appropriate level of care
Strong governance, effective health information systems, and community engagement remain critical to reducing the growing burden of NCDs.
