The youth population must be the primary target in addressing the scourge of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said that this was one of the points made by Minister of Public Health, Volda Lawrence yesterday at a two-day consultation on NCDs at the Marriott Hotel.
DPI said that the Pan American Health Organisation/World Health Organisation (PAHO/ WHO) collaborated with the office of Planning and International Engagement of the University of Guyana on the forum. Those engaged include representatives from the university, government agencies, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and private entities.
