The 2024 Global Week for Action on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) panel discussion is set to focus on the theme, "The Time to Lead is Now." This event, organized by NCD Alliance Malawi, will be broadcast live on Zodiak Broadcasting Station (ZBS) on Friday 25th October 2024, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The discussion aims to raise awareness about NCDs and advocate for action in addressing NCDs.

As NCDs continue to be a major public health challenge globally, the discussion will emphasize on the need for proactive measures, improved healthcare policies, and increased resources dedicated to combating these diseases.

In addition, the panel discussion will explore the importance of prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment in minimizing the impact of NCDs on communities, particularly those in rural and underserved areas. The live broadcast on television, radio, and Facebook will enable a wide reach, encouraging community engagement and participation in addressing this pressing health issue.

Overall, this panel discussion aims to galvanize action and promote a sense of urgency in Malawi’s response to NCDs.
