"Ideas start with only one person talking about something, and then the group would talk about it, and then a community would talk about it, and then slowly, with a campaign like this, the whole world can talk about what we do and what we want to do"
- Dr Mohammed M. Seyam
Earlier this year, on the sidelines of the Global NCDA Forum, Mohammed and Maleeqah shared insights into their NCD advocacy journeys — and why they are speaking up not only for themselves, but also for their communities and all people living with NCDs.
