Chairman of the Media Alliance in Tobacco Control and Health (MATCOH), Jeorge Wilson, has emphasised the need for collective action against Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Ghana.
Speaking at a capacity-building seminar for journalists and civil society organizations (CSOs) in Accra, Mr.
Wilson noted that NCDs account for about 45% of all mortality in the country, with this figure steadily rising over the years.
The seminar, organised by the Ghana NCD Alliance in collaboration with MATCOH and the Private Newspapers and Online News Publishers Association of Ghana (PRINPAG), aimed to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to advocate for stronger government commitment to addressing the NCD challenges.
