Dr. Hussein Bagha recently participated in the Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) symposium held in Nakuru, where he shared experiences and gained valuable insights into addressing the growing health burden posed by NCDs in Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa.
During the symposium, Dr. Bagha emphasized the escalating prevalence of NCDs, highlighting their significant economic burden on already strained healthcare systems in the region.
The rising incidence of conditions such as Chronic Kidney Disease, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer underscores the urgent need for collaborative efforts to mitigate their impact.
Dr. Bagha stressed that it is the collective responsibility of healthcare professionals, policymakers, and society at large to ensure that all patients with NCDs receive proper treatment and access to healthcare services. By prioritizing preventive measures, early detection, and comprehensive treatment strategies, stakeholders can work together to alleviate the burden of NCDs and improve patient outcomes.
Through his participation in the symposium, Dr. Bagha reaffirmed his commitment to addressing the challenges posed by NCDs and advocating for equitable access to healthcare for all individuals affected by these conditions. He emphasized the importance of continued education, research, and community engagement to effectively tackle the NCD epidemic and promote a healthier future for communities across Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa.
