Had a great 1st day at @NCDChild #NCD19 forum - honored to tell my story, share experiences of young people living with #NCDs & #cancer in the countries where @PIH works, and talk w/other amazing advocates about including these voices in #UHC2030 agenda @NCDSynergies
Great young voices who are not cancer survivors but warriors! Right @10003Warriors

Thanks, Jordan! So proud to stand alongside you and everyone else advocating for a strong, inclusive, effective response to #NCDs & #mentalhealth - everyone should have access to life-saving care for conditions like lymphoma like I did #NCDVoices

Thank you to @NCDChild & @SaniaNishtar for giving #NCD youth advocates a platform to ask critical questions at #WHA71 - it was a privilege to tell my story but also to highlight the even more severe challenges our young patients & friends face in poor, rural settings #enoughNCDs
How do we give a voice to the whole spectrum of ppl living with #NCDs? The prevention message doesn’t exactly fit for my story - I’m a cancer survivor with an auto-immune disease. But I certainly need treatment and management. - Maia Olsen @WomenAndNCDs #WHA71 #EnoughNCDs

Check out a powerful video of Wesly's experiences living with #RHD and the change he wants to see in Haiti -- words we all need to listen to. So proud of him and the #NCDvoices movement. https://t.co/iCXNfXRV1C

There is more we have in common as #PLWNCDs than we don't. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to listen. #NCDVoices #ncds @ncdalliance

With a new leader at the helm, WHO must focus on the crushing burden of noncommunicable diseases and injuries on the world's poorest people and communities.

Praises.
Just talked to a woman in Iowa who was hesitant about voting for HRC. She tells me she is now fully with Clinton because of this debate.
