In response to the growing prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), the Nakuru County Department of Health has established a dedicated NCDs Technical Working Group (TWG) to coordinate and strengthen prevention and management efforts.
This strategic move aims to address the concerning rise of conditions like diabetes and hypertension, which are increasingly impacting the county's population.
The TWG, chaired by County Director for Medical Services, Dr.
Daniel Wainaina, convened on Thursday to prioritise the integration of NCD prevention into primary healthcare services.
