Back to allHow chronic disease education empowers people to protect their health
Jordan’s health system is under strain, with a surge in new patients to treat and non-communicable diseases counting for roughly four in five deaths. By running awareness sessions in local health centres, people living with conditions like diabetes and hypertension are being empowered to make small changes to improve their health in tandem with formal treatment.
