-Presidential Commission on non-communicable diseases
The state must improve its efforts in relation to the mental health of diabetics.
This is one of the assertions of the Presidential Commission on the Prevention and Control of the NCDs (Non Communicable Diseases).
World Diabetes Day 2024 was observed on Thursday under the theme “Breaking Barriers, Bridging Gaps” and the Commission in a statement urged a more wholistic approach to managing the lives of diabetics while lamenting that many health centres are still not equipped for the task and drugs are sometimes in short supply.
