What are NCD’s?

We believe preventative medicine is an underestimated value in our society. Non-communicable diseases (heart attacks, strokes, cancers etc.) are set to be the leading cause of all deaths by the year 2030. This sudden disease burden is linked to our change in lifestyle over the last few decades and is seen by the WHO as a “major challenge to sustainable development.”
