The north-south alliance

Hectic days in Copenhagen. Our ugandan friends have participated in a whole bunch of meetings: At the NCD alliance stakeholder meeting (NCD = non communicable diseases - cancer, diabetes, heart and lung diseseases) they got the chance to meet with the Danish Cancer Society, doctors from several countries specializing in non communicable diseases but also - important!  - to meet with representatives from different foundations.

At the NCD meeting it became clear that diseases such as diabetes and cancer are hastily growing in many african countries.

But it also became clear that a holistic approach is needed to prevent and fight these diseases: Sports, urban planning, medicine and better nutrition - they are all part of the solution. And at the NCD meeting many different organizations came together in order to create a platform for collaborating.

"Thank you for listening and may god bless you all". Power point - ugandan style.

The NCD meeting was very fruitful and many contacts have been made. We are very much hoping, that these contacts will help us fundraise for the many projects, Hands of Hope are doing: Screening for cervical cancer, preventing hiv/AIDS, preventing diabetes and so on.
