What a significant milestone! The EAC NCD Framework (2024–2030) has officially been launched at the National #NCDConference 2025 @ncdalliance@eancdalliance@MOH_Kenya The framework advances advocacy, improves data systems, strengthens governance & boosts sustainable financing.
Rwanda is taking the #LeadOnNCDs through targeted training programmes & integrating NCD awareness into existing health initiatives.

It demands multi-sectoral action, robust policy frameworks, sustained public awareness, and innovative community engagement," writes Alphonse Mbarushimana, Executive Director of @RwandaNCDA in his blog for the Global Week for Action.

2 billion people face financial hardship paying for health care, often instead of food, education or housing. That’s 1/4 of the world’s population!
This #UHCDay, we call on leaders to invest in #UHC to protect the right to health.
Unaffordable health costs? We’re sick of it!
More than 1/2 the world’s population still can't get essential health services. Too often, people miss out on medication or treatment because they can’t afford to pay, making our communities poorer and sicker.
This #UHCDay, let’s urge leaders to make #UHC a national priority.
For more than 1/4 of the world’s population, access to health care remains an unaffordable dream.
This #UHCDay, we’re holding leaders to account and reminding them to prioritize health as a foundation for #SustainableDevelopment

When people delay care due to unaffordable #HealthCosts, they risk longer-term or more serious illness. People are less productive, and demand for long-term care or welfare support goes up.
On #UHCDay, leaders must guarantee the right to health for everyone!
Sitting is the new smoking & today at the First #NCDConferenceKenya we’re reminded that movement is medicine. Dance, stretch, walk, take breaks. Small actions reduce NCD risk & boost well-being. Let’s keep moving one step at a time. #TuongeeNCDs#NCDsConference2025#NCDPolicyKE

Hannibal conquered #Carthage.
#AORTIC25 conquered cancer collaboration in #Tunis .
#AORTIC2025 was not just a conference — it was a celebration of #Collaboration, #Innovation, and retrouvailles with brilliant minds committed to advancing #cancer#research across #Africa.
Every conversation reminded me that #science grows stronger when #compassion and #Collaboration are its foundation.
#Palliative care was not neglected. I was honored to share the stage with my mentor and friend, Dr. @drmhoira, to emphasize the need to embed palliative care within #Oncology, not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of care that honors #dignity and quality of #life.
Here’s to continued partnerships, deeper learning, and building a future where #cancer care across #Africa is both effective and #compassionate.
