By Bobby Ramakant (about the author)
Become a Fan -- Page 2 of 2 page(s)
Professor Martin Silink, President of the International Diabetes Federation explains: "the world has not previously had to cope with an epidemic of NCDs. Health systems will need to adapt fast to mobilize new and existing resources to tackle the epidemic through prevention and education. The majority of people with non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer are responsible for most of their own care most of the time. Health systems will need to support the role of people with NCDs and see them as part of the solution."-
