NCD Care in Rural Ethiopia : Meeting the Challenge
When : 12th October : 13.00 - 14.00 Where : Southampton General Hospital, (Room to be confirmed)
What : To date the global health community’s activities have been focused primarily on the eradication of infectious diseases and improving maternal and child health. As a result Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) have been greatly neglected particularly in low-income countries. In Ethiopia, NCDs are becoming increasingly prevalent among the rural population. The resulting morbidity and mortality burden is high, with 30% of all deaths due to NCDs and their complications. David Phillips, Professor of Metabolic and Endocrine Programming, MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit. University of Southampton.& Andrew Mortimore, Consultant in Public Health and Visiting Fellow at PCPS University of Southampton will be talking about their work in Ethiopa and the THET Ethiopia NCD Alliance (THENA). Contact Elena for more information.
