@zihazimbabwe.bsky.socialZimbabwe needs an NCD response that reaches beyond policy documents.
From urban centres to rural communities, people need prevention, early diagnosis, affordable medicines, quality treatment and continuity of care.
From commitments to delivery.
@worldobesity.bsky.socialProtecting children from obesity risks is one of the highest-return investment we can make against the future NCD burden. Governments must prioritise child-focused prevention.
@zihazimbabwe.bsky.socialWhere you live should not determine whether you receive quality NCD care.
Zimbabwe must close the gaps in access to screening, diagnosis, medicines, treatment and follow-up—especially for underserved communities.
Health equity must be delivered, not promised.
@worldobesity.bsky.social🧒 Over 170 million children aged 5–19 are living with obesity today. That should concern all of us.
On current trends, that rises to over 200 million children with obesity by 2040 – a rise of roughly 30 million in just over a decade.

@zihazimbabwe.bsky.socialHealthcare cannot be built in silos.
HIV, #NCDs, mental health and disability intersect in people's lives. Zimbabwe needs integrated, accessible and people-centred services.
Treat the whole person, not separate conditions.
@worldobesity.bsky.socialAt least 90 million children are already showing early signs of chronic disease caused by high BMI. This is what inaction looks like. 🏛️
