Red Cross fights NCDs through arts
Moses Mugugunyeki ·
THE Zimbabwe Red Cross Society (ZRCS) has intensified its non-communicable diseases (NCDs) awareness campaign among the youth with the launch of an arts competition in schools last week.
Lately, there has been a surge in NCDs globally, significantly affecting the young people, though according to the World Health Organisation, 80% of NCDs are preventable.
Health experts say these non-infectious diseases are mainly influenced by lifestyle and also can be inherited from an elder family member.
