NCD story

Diabetes runs in my father's family. Some family members have suffered serious consequences including heart disease, eye damage and kidney failure.  I myself have diabetes and started a non-profit Arogya World committed to prevent diabetes through health education and lifestyle change.  I believe it is my generation's responsibility to fix NCDs and I am determined to do what I can to help the next generation have a healthy future.
