What NCD Cameroon does<\/h2>\n

NCD Cameroon is SHINE’s programme on non-communicable diseases. Trained staff screen adults for hypertension and diabetes at clinics, churches, markets and workplaces. They record results digitally and explain them on the spot. Anyone with a raised reading is referred to a partner clinic. Then we follow up by telephone or through the MedAccess app. The programme grew out of the 2023 Hypertension Awareness campaign, which reached more than 5,000 people.<\/p>\n

Why NCD Cameroon matters<\/h2>\n

Hypertension and diabetes are among the fastest-growing causes of death and disability in sub-Saharan Africa. However, most people who have them do not know it. Screening close to home, with a clear referral route, changes that at an affordable cost. In addition, every screening day contributes anonymised data to research on hypertension in Cameroon.<\/p>\n

NCD Cameroon partners<\/h2>\n

We deliver the programme with the Ministry of Public Health and local clinics. Clinics can host screening days, and organisations can fund a campaign. Please send a partnership enquiry<\/a>. Finally, the evidence base is set out in a 2025 review in Heart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A note on our standards<\/h2>\n

First, every study has a written protocol and ethical approval before data collection. Second, we report results to the partner as well as to a journal. Third, testimonials appear only with the person’s consent. As a result, partners can rely on what SHINE publishes, and readers can check every claim against its source.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
