NCD story

I have treated the complications of NCDs more than 7 years. Majority of my patients are not engaged in physical activity when I am asking them. Since 2015, I planned to focus on the prevention of NCDs by promoting physical activity through social media and starting to conduct research on physical inactivity to beat NCDs. I believe that active people are healthy and happy people. NCDs are preventable if we create community friendly physical activity programs.
