For immigrants and minorities who are raised to appear strong, the stigmas around having a disease can make them seek help too late–or show up with a seeming ‘lack’ of symptoms. If doctors are trained to effectively communicate with them, prevention and better outcomes for NCDs becomes practical.

As staggeringly prevalent as NCDs are, they can only be solved with research that includes minorities in clinical trials and promotion that reaches them. For pharmaceuticals and labs, communication that is culturally-competent and builds trust is a must-have for their success.

To successfully raise awareness & funds, an authentic story that communities & stakeholders can relate to and be inspired from is crucial. For any part of NCDs, that means someone who lives daily with a chronic illness, navigates its hidden battles, and is a face that minorities feel is like them.
