🔝 Over 50% of cancer medicines listed on the World Health Organization's Essential Medicines List are still unavailable in LMICs (https://lnkd.in/dYx_yJC) At NCDconnect, we’re working to bridge this gap by engaging across the cancer ecosystem: 🔹We collaborate with local and global health organizations, 🔹We follow the recommendations from oncologists in LMICs for essential cancer medicines in their clinical settings, 🔹We engage with public health representatives and Ministries of Health. Together, we aim to expand access and improve cancer treatment. Interested in joining the effort?

🎗️ No one should face breast cancer alone. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we reflect on the millions of women worldwide battling this disease, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where access to care is limited. Beyond support after diagnosis, the focus must also be on early detection and timely screening. Governments and healthcare providers should prioritise access to diagnostics so treatment can start earlier—or be avoided altogether. Comprehensive care across all stages is key. Together, we can ensure no one is left behind. #BreastCancerAwareness #HealthcareAccess #EarlyDetection #GlobalHealth #Diagnosis

💡 Quiz time: What condition is expected to cost the global economy $4.3 trillion between 2020 and 2050? The answer: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a respiratory disease that often goes undiagnosed early on. While smoking is a known risk factor, pollution and climate change are also contributing to its rise globally. At NCDconnect, we support early and accurate diagnosis. If you’re looking for diagnostic devices to improve COPD care, contact us to explore how we can assist in enhancing your procurement. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZ8z4ux9 #COPDAwareness #GlobalHealth #HealthcareAccess #COPD #Respiratorydiseases
