President Robert Mugabe today called on the international community to help eradicate non-communicable diseases in Africa by channelling more assistance to the continent. “We, therefore, call upon developed countries to make concrete commitments that are time-bound so as to ensure access to medicines, appropriate technology transfer and further training for our health personnel on NCDs. My delegation is concerned that in the quest to protect trade related aspects of intellectual property rights, a human face is lost,” Mugabe told delegates at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
