#UHC can help #beatNCDs. As countries progress toward ensuring #HealthForAll, more attention must be given to people living with #NCDs especially victims of tobacco caused diseases. @FCAforTC @ncdalliance #PLWNCDs #UHCDay @AfricaNoTobacco @CTC_AFRICA

Very delighted to launch national HPV vaccination program today! We’ll vaccinate 1.1 million girls this year to protect them from cervical cancer caused by HPV infection. Indeed very grateful for the continued support of @GAVI & all our partners. Cervical cancer is PREVENTABLE!

NCDs have 5 main risk factors. It’s time to think about how new technologies – for example, #bigdata and electronic health records – can be used to reduce harmful behaviours. #beatNCDs
