“My dad was sick, he tested positive for COVID-19 and he died of the disease. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t have enough information on the disease, otherwise I would have reacted differently. Worst still. we didn’t know that he had any pre-existing condition”

It has been so challenging, supporting my family during this period of COVID-19 given that places were locked down and economics put on hold or slowed down. It makes things expensive. It was really difficult to buy and sell. High transport fair because of social distancing

“When I was young, I was working hard. I had no choice. Now that I can’t even do anything. I can only encourage that the government should fight to see how they can keep these their kinds of people because the cost of care every month is very high. I have to spend 4000 to 8000 each month. When something like this comes, we who are patients only depend on the doctors to tell us what to do. If they tell us to go up, we go up, if they tell us to go this way, we will just go.”

” Run out of medications during the lockdown period and needed to purchase new ones. However, I had no ID to prove to the military men in town who were ensuring the effectiveness of the lockdown that I am a person living with diabetes so I stayed home. I could not access the prescribed drugs from the community pharmacy as they had none. In the end, I relied on a co-tenant to share his drugs with me since he was also a person living with diabetes.

NCDs Accounting for Most Global Deaths from NCDs

NCD/DESCRIPTION

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)

CVDs, the number one cause of death globally (mainly from coronary heart disease and stroke), can be mostly prevented by addressing risk factors; these include tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity, and diabetes.

Chronic respiratory diseases

These are chronic diseases of the airways and other structures of the lung; among the most common are asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, an incurable, life-threatening lung disease that interferes with normal breathing). COPD is caused primarily by tobacco smoke (firsthand use or secondhand smoke).

Cancer

With lung, stomach, liver, colon, and breast cancer causing most cancer deaths, behavioral and dietary risks include high body mass index, lack of physical activity, low fruit/vegetable intake, and tobacco and alcohol use. Viral infections (e.g., Hepatitis B and C viruses; Human papillomavirus) are also causes of cancer.

Diabetes

A chronic disease that occurs when the body cannot effectively regulate blood sugar, uncontrolled diabetes can lead to death as a consequence of high fasting blood sugar. Addressing risk factors (e.g., healthy diet, physical activity, normal body weight) can help prevent or delay onset of adult-onset diabetes (type 2).
