Chronic diseases like diabetes, mental health disorders, respiratory illnesses, and diabetes are responsible for a growing number of deaths around the world. Here in Kenya, NCDs cause more than 50% of hospital admissions and, tragically, more than 55% of hospital deaths. As more people live with NCDs, healthcare systems become strained—often unable to maintain medication supplies.

For patients, this can be devastating. Medicine often makes the difference between living with a chronic disease, and dying from it. As CMMB works to strengthen the ability of local health facilities to respond to his growing population of patients, we are also making sure they have a reliable supply of medication.
