A group of caregivers and persons living with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Homa Bay have petitioned the county government to set aside funds in the budget to fight NCDs.
Homa Bay NCD Advocacy Chapter chairperson Mercy Kwamboka, her deputy Gordon Ayata, coordinator Teresa Odero and communication leader Florence Miyaya expressed concern that NCDs seem to be neglected because they are perceived as diseases that do not require emergency response.
