Our research at MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit is revealing distinct types of diabetes in our communities - Dr. Davis Kibirige, Consultant Physician at NCD Programme #2022AnnualScientificConference

HIV-NCD integration: We can't just put numbers in front of policymakers, says Dr Zipporah Ali Zipporah Ali MD. We need to put faces - the person front & centre - and to meaningfully involve people living with NCDs and HIV to co-create services. #AIDS2022
