One key message was highlighted at #ICPPA2024 ⬇️

We must #Walkthetalk to #BeatNCD 's in #Africa .

One of the many iconic booths during #ICPPA2024 was the abstract station which housed about 15 abstract presenters on the different severe #NCD diseases.

The presentations sparked conversations and deeper thinking into how collectively we can #BeatNCDs in Africa.

The #ICPPA2024 side events sparked vital conversations around diabetics, cancer, stroke, heart related diseases & ear, & oral health.

Integrating World Health Organization (WHO)'s PEN interventions into primary care & expanding #PENPlus in district hospitals, will ensure access to life-saving treatments.

'Jambo zuri... tumeona mtoto mmoja (mgonjwa wa NCD's) aliyefikiwa na PEN-Plus kwa muda mrefu alishindwa kwenda shule, lakini sasa anakwenda, ni lazima tuweke mikakati bora kuwafikia wagonjwa,' Dkt. Mohammed Abdulaziz wa Africa CDC
