“There have been cases where people died from stroke before being taken to hospital because people were not aware of the symptoms,” he said.

In an interview, the alliance’s member Henry Ndhlovu said traditional leaders are important in as far as disseminating NCD messages is concerned.

“Communities should know signs and symptoms of the diseases so that they should know when to access health services,” he said.

Ndhlovu said traditional leaders should encourage more women to go for cervical cancer screening.

Malawi Non-communicable Disease Alliance was established in 2016 by eight member organisations that deal with cancer, diabetes, stroke and hypertension.
