We must make investments today to improve the lives of millions in LMICs and enable informed, healthier, better choices for all.” A call to action by Edith Mukantwari

Like me, many people living with NCDs are afraid that their lives will be cut short and lost too soon. I lived most of my 20’s afraid that I’d never make it to 30. A close friend of mine intimated the same to me the other day. The choices we’ve both made reflect this as they’ve often been made out of fear, uncertainty, dread, lack or even a combination of the four. Living with a chronic...
