Taking the NCD course has been an eye-opening experience. I gained a deeper understanding of the growing burden of non-communicable diseases globally, and especially in low- and middle-income countries like Kenya. The course has not only strengthened my public health knowledge but also inspired me to be more proactive in advocating for NCD prevention and better health systems in my country.
