KIGALI， June 28 (Xinhua) -- Risk factors such as tobacco consumption are increasing throughout sub-Saharan Africa particularly amongst the youth rendering people susceptible to Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
Ahmed Ouma Ogwell， the African regional coordinator for prevention of NCDS at the World Health Organization (WHO)， made the remarks Tuesday at the opening of an international scientific conference on the role of multi disciplinary approach in the management of NCDs in Kigali.
"We know what to do to prevent the non communicable diseases but what we are lacking is action. Usually chronic illnesses are likely to come late in life when the body is slowing down， and are mostly caused by non communicable diseases which can be avoided if we do the right thing，" he said.
He noted that as a global community over the last 15 years， there have been a lot of discussions on NCDs but not acting a lot.
Non communicable diseases are not diseases of the rich， he pointed out， but in the region， it is growing at a very alarming rate yet it is very expensive to treat.
The conference is a response to the threat identified by the WHO in its 2013 global action plan in the prevention and control of NCDs.
The Non-communicable diseases mainly cardiovascular diseases， cancers， chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes are the biggest cause of death worldwide.
More than 36 million are said to die annually from NCDs， including 14 million people who die too young before the age of 70.
More than 90 percent of the premature deaths are linked to common risk factors， namely tobacco use， unhealthy diet， physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol.
Ouma noted that NCDs are crosscutting across all the sectors and that the fiscal policy must be regulated in as far as consumption is concerned.
"The reason we are not doing well is because industry is a bottleneck for our success. Most of the industries are putting in the market products that are unhealthy. Although the unhealthy products contribute to the Gross Domestic Product the effect that they have on the health sector and the society at large is not in line with what the people want，" he said.
He called for regulation of whatever industries are producing as a way to have a balance that is positive.
We need to work together and we need bold measures to generate the momentum that is required， he said.
Jeanine Condo the Director General of Non Communicable Diseases at Rwanda Biomedical Center noted it is individual responsibility to ensure physical activity and healthy diet because NCDs are expensive to treat.
She said obesity level in the country increased from 21 percent to 32 percent while hypertension is at 15 percent and diabetes is at 3 percent.
The best alternative is prevention， she said.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- For 23-year-old Zuleima Dominguez, the Trump administration's decision to rescind a program that shields young immigrants brought into the United States illegally as children from deportation Wholesale Oklahoma City Thunder Jerseys , means she might relive the fear that had once haunted her for more than a decade.
Born in Mexico, Dominguez arrived in the United States when she was seven years old. Her parents pinned hope on her opportunity to receive higher education and find a good job that they had never had in Mexico.
For more than a decade, Dominguez was living in the fear that she might be exposed as an undocumented immigrant and had to struggle to pay for her college.
It was the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA Wholesale New York Knicks Jerseys , that lifted her out of despair and inferiority.
Under the program implemented in 2012, recipients receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit by applying to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Approximately 800,000 people have participated in the program across the United States and they are often referred to as Dreamers.
Dominguez was able to apply for a scholarship, become a full-time student Wholesale New Orleans Pelicans Jerseys , travel outside the United States, and most importantly, feel like a U.S. citizen.
""I thought I was never going to graduate (from college), and then DACA happened. DACA changed my life Wholesale Minnesota Timberwolves Jerseys ,"" Dominguez told media on Wednesday.
However, the White House announced on Tuesday that the DACA is being rescinded. President Donald Trump said in a written statement that he is looking forward to working with the Congress to finally address all of these issues ""in a manner that puts the hardworking citizens of our country first.""
The move met strong protest from many attorneys general, mayors, business leaders Wholesale Milwaukee Bucks Jerseys , labor unions and immigration advocates, among whom, 15 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit on Wednesday.
The lawsuit details how the Trump administration has violated the Equal Protection clause of the Constitution by discriminating against Dreamers of Mexican origin, who make up 78 percent of DACA recipients Wholesale Miami Heat Jerseys , violated Due Process rights, and harmed states' residents, institutions, and economies.
New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said in a news conference that there is no good reason to end the program because the Dreamers play by the rules Wholesale Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys , work hard, pay taxes, and have a clean record.
""For most (of the Dreamers), the United States is the only home they have ever known. They deserve to stay here Wholesale Los Angeles Lakers Jerseys ,"" he said, adding that the Dreamers are making America great.
""Immigration is the lifeblood of New York State. The Trump administration's decision to end DACA is cruel, inhumane, and devastating to the 42 Wholesale Los Angeles Clippers Jerseys ,000 New Yorkers who have been able to come out of the shadows and live a full life as a result of the program,"" said Schneiderman.
He added that the DACA repeal would not only affect life of Dream. Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys China Cheap College Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Hats Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Cheap Sports Jerseys China Wholesale Soccer T-Shirts Wholesale Hockey Hoodie
