IDA Foundation’s Post

🚨 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.

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
