The Cameroon Civil Society NCD Alliance (VAHA, C3t, BaptistHealthServices) met at the Cameroon Coalition for Tobacco Control Office at Etudi Yaounde to offer a Press Conference as part of the activities marking the Second Global Week for Action on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). The Cameroon Civil Society NCD Alliance joined their voices to the Global NCD Alliance to say 'Enough of the apathy, inaction and glacial progress on prevention and control of NCDs.' They called on the government of Cameroon to deliver on the rights to healthcare for all people in Cameroon. It was a unifying and rallying opportunity to celebrate where action has led to progress in improving health, and an opportunity to say Enough to inaction on the world's largest cause of death and disability. The event saw over 7 media outlets including #Crtv #Canal2English, #MagicFM, #ThePost and #LeMessager. The clarion call was on the Government of Cameroon to step up and translate commitments into action that will lead to meaningful progress and improvement of people's lives in Cameroon
