“Bridging the care gap”, is the theme for the 2023 Global Week for Action on NCDs (observed annually in September), which seeks to bring attention to NCD prevention and control.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancers, diabetes, mental health conditions and many others, affect us all. In an address to mark the occasion, Prime Minister and Federal Minister of Health, Dr. Terrance Drew, said NCDs must be dealt with.
One of the ways to ensure the “care gap” is bridged, is through Universal Health Coverage (UHC), which is the right to every human being able to access healthcare, regardless of their ability to pay.
