Dr @Owen_Nkoka our Cohort Manager, is presenting a preliminary analysis from our NCD longitudinal population study; which shows a rapid rise in diabetes in our cohort, with adult all-cause mortality for those with diabetes now comparable to HIV. #3rdKUHeSRDC

Prioritizing safety on the road! 🚴‍♂️ Our team at MEIRU just completed a comprehensive motorcycle safety training. Ensuring our field staff are well-prepared and protected while traveling to remote communities is crucial to the vital work we do. #SafetyFirst

A secondary analysis of our Health and Demographic Surveillance Site data using sequence analysis demonstrates the different pathways young people take to adulthood, finding increasing access to school for some of the rural population, while many still married at a young age.
