Vincentians have been called upon to take greater advantage of the public health services and facilities provided by the government, especially in light of the growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) locally.
Speaking during an interview with NBC Radio, District Medical Officer Dr. Nanyamka Snagg-John expressed concern about the increasing number of cases related to NCDS – many of which, she said, could be better managed or even prevented, through early detection and consistent care.
Dr. Snagg-John noted that building a healthier nation begins with individuals taking responsibility for their well-being and making use of the support systems, already in place.
