What are non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and how do they connect to mental health?

NCDs refer to a wide range of chronic diseases that are nontransmissible and often lifelong. This includes cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, and cancers. Severe childhood-onset NCDs include sickle cell disease, type 1 diabetes, and childhood heart diseases.

Mental health and NCDs are deeply interconnected. Many mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, are chronic conditions. Conversely, individuals with NCDs like diabetes or heart disease are at a significantly higher risk of experiencing mental health challenges.

UNICEF is committed to ensuring that children impacted by NCDs and mental health conditions receive the care and support they need.

๐ŸŒ Road traffic crashes kill 1.19 million people every year, and a further 20โ€“50 million are left with life-altering injuries, according to UN data. The WHO has called this a โ€œmajor public health and development crisis.โ€

The UNโ€™s Decade of Action for Road Safety (2021โ€“2030) aims to cut road traffic deaths and injuries by 50% by 2030โ€”but achieving this requires more than safer roads. It requires prepared communities.

Thatโ€™s where the STOP THE BLEEDยฎ Kenya Initiative comes in.

Every person we train represents a life that could be saved. Together, we can help Kenyaโ€”and the worldโ€”move closer to the 2030 target.
