✨ In 2025, let's continue collectively to drive for better access to #NCD medicines! As we step into this new year, the NCD Policy Lab wishes you a 2025 filled with joy, progress, and resilience! Start the year by reflecting on one important health issue that we continue to face: access to #insulin. Although this article by The Guardian is a retrospective, its message remains as relevant as ever. It highlights the difficult realities faced by people living with #diabetes, including those who are forced to skip meals just to make their insulin last. In this important piece, Prof. David Beran shares his insights on why access to insulin continues to be a critical challenge. 🔗 Read the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eYrvWkyi #GlobalHealth #AccessToInsulin #NCD

Ensuring access to diabetes treatment and care is a major challenge for people in low- and middle-income countries. Financial constraints, limited healthcare capacity, and a lack of public awareness often create additional barriers. This newly released short film as part of the Addressing the Challenge and Constraints of Insulin Sources and Supply (#ACCISS) Study, led by Health Action International and University of Geneva, highlights two innovative approaches in #Kyrgyzstan and #Tanzania, demonstrating the profound impact these projects have on improving the lives of people living with #diabetes. 👉 Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/dJmeQGW6 #Diabetes #Accessibility #Treatment #Film

🤝 The NCD Policy Lab annual Coordination Meeting in #Geneva – a resounding success! It brought together NCD Policy Lab partners in Geneva for 3 impactful days.  Starting with partners update and reporting on their NCD Policy Lab 2024 activities. Followed by Capacity Building activities through the intervention on #UniversalHealthCoverage by Jean-Marc Thomé from P4H Network, with Romaine Jean learning how to communicate a complex message effectively & with Martin Leschhorn Strebel from Medicus Mundi Switzerland learning about key tools to address the challenges of Science to Policy. 🌟 All the partners were able to create meaningful synergies across the NCD Policy Lab main pillars: Research, Capacity Building & Societal Engagement. The discussions were a significant step to advance the mission of the NCD Policy Lab, bridging the gap between #Science and #Policy to promote evidence-based solutions for #NCDs. 🚀 Exciting developments for 2025 are on the horizon—stay tuned for more updates! #NCDPolicyLab #CoordinationMeeting24 University of Geneva, HUG - Hopitaux Universitaires de Genève, NGO Santé Diabète
