I often reflect on how much harder it would be had this pandemic occurred in say, the 90s. Working from home impossible, zoom non-existent to see family smiles ... likely much longer to get a vaccine.

Yet this is the reality for much of the global population right now

🧍one person ≠ one disease🦠 , we need to start supporting people as a whole and start linking 🔗 prevention and care for multiple diseases. 🆕report shows including mental health treatment in HIV and TB care could end pandemics sooner➡️ https://t.co/9Pgax1eusi

(1) Norway Global Health Ambassador, Jon-Arne Rottingen:

👉Despite large #NCD disease burden in LMICs, they only constitute 1-2% of development aid.

👏Norway keen to explore with other countries, CSOs and communities how to mobilise more resources.
