Meaningful engagement includes resources
In this episode:
Today we’re speaking with Anu Gomanju and Edith Mukantwari, advocates for strengthening the global response to NCDs and both themselves living with NCDs. Anu works with the NCDI Poverty Network as well as patient and family organizations such as the Global Alliance for Rheumatic and Congenital Hearts, while Edith is Executive Director of the Africa Diabetes Alliance. Both our guests stress that the NCD response must move beyond treating people living with NCDs in a token way, to one of meeting their needs so they can live productive, healthy lives. This includes providing resources so that people living with NCDs can contribute meaningfully to preparations for the 4th High-Level meeting of the UN General Assembly on the prevention and control of NCDs and the promotion of mental health and well-being, in September this year.
