As the world marks the World Hypertension Day, 17 May 2024, with the Theme: 'Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control it, Live Longer', we are reminded by WHO, of the words of the World Hypertension League (WHL), that 'Hypertension is a driving force in the global epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and the leading risk factor for death and disability globally.'

Thus, the entire team at Kandi Development Services joins in expanding the awareness and consciousness about Hypertension, encouraging adult women and men to adopt lifestyle modifications like, carry out regular blood pressure checks, eat healthy, engage in regular exercises, be active, as well as seeking appropriate medical/professional services and care.

Kandi joins hands and voices with Development partners, health workers, government, the private sector, and other stakeholders in the fight against this 'silent killer' responsible for a great many deaths.

Happy Workers Day 2024. Thank you to all workers, at different tasks, including the volunteers, team and management at Kandi for your efforts across various areas, towards development and humanity.

As the world marks this year's World Malaria Day, with the Theme: Accelerating the fight against malaria for a more equitable world, and Slogan: Let's change the narrative now; it is fundamental for innovative partnerships to be formed and strengthened at various levels, towards eliminating malaria.

Kandi continues to support public private sector partnerships for Development. Malaria elimination is possible.

Health workers are the backbone of resilient health systems and essential to achieving health equity, preventing epidemics, managing diseases, responding to climate change effects and delivering primary health care.
Kandi continues to encourage public and private sector partnerships to support health workers and improve the health system in order to achieve health for all.
