Underlining the importance of access to quality assured essential medicines.
🚨 WHO Issues Warning on Falsified Medicines for Diabetes Treatment and Weight Loss 🚨 The recent World Health Organization warning about falsified medicines used for diabetes treatment and weight loss is a stark reminder of the critical importance of ensuring the quality and authenticity of medical products. At NCDconnect, we are deeply committed to safeguarding patient health by providing access to only high-quality, rigorously vetted NCD medicines and supplies. Our approach includes: 🔹 Partnering with trusted suppliers and manufacturers who meet WHO-PQ, SRA, or IDA’s stringent dossier review standards 🔹 Continuously monitoring and ensuring the integrity of our supply chain 🔹 Leveraging over 50 years of IDA Foundation's experience in the procurement and distribution of essential medicines We believe that access to safe, effective, and affordable medicines is a fundamental right, and we are dedicated to upholding this standard for all patients in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (#LMICs). Join us in our mission to eliminate the threat of falsified medicines and enhance global health outcomes.

🌍 Great to see mental health, often an under-represented topic, gaining the much-needed attention at the #CCIH Conference in Kenya. Mental health is a crucial part of overall well-being, yet it frequently gets overshadowed, especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). At IDA, we are committed to bridging gaps and making mental and chronic disease health resources accessible and affordable in LMICs. By integrating mental and chronic health products into our portfolio, we aim to create sustainable and impactful health solutions. If you share our passion for making a difference and would like to discuss these opportunities further, please connect with us. Together, we can build a healthier future for all. #GlobalHealth #MentalHealth #ChronicDisease #HealthForAll
Mental health is a critical component of overall health, yet it has often been overlooked in health programs across Africa. As we continue to address physical health challenges, it's imperative that we also prioritize mental well-being. We are excited to be part of the CCIH regional meeting in Limuru, Kenya, where we will be learning and sharing our experiences on navigating #MentalHealth in programming. ACHAP continues to champion the integration of mental health into health programs across Africa. Together, we can foster environments where mental health is valued as much as physical health, creating stronger, healthier communities. #MentalHealth #Africa #HealthanHealingforAll #Wellbeing #SustainableDevelopment #HealthPrograms #CommunityHealth
