NAIROBI, March 12 (Xinhua) -- Kenya should leverage new policy and legislative tools and ramp up awareness campaigns in a bid to contain the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), health advocates said Wednesday ahead of World Kidney Day to be marked on Thursday.
Speaking at a virtual forum in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, the advocates stressed that a shift to healthy diets and lifestyles, backed by political goodwill and forward-looking policies, is urgent to reduce the incidence of diseases fueled by sedentary lifestyles, alcohol, and tobacco consumption.
