Yet much of the suffering caused by these diseases is preventable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a pressing need to tell of the challenge and impact of NCDs through the lens of human stories. This series of short films goes beyond the numbers and statistics and puts a human face to these diseases, relaying the everyday reality of living with or caring for people with NCDs in low- and middle-income countries. They also highlight the power of community action, resilience and agency, by shining a spotlight on the change agents who are making a difference to turn the tide on NCDs\u201d, said Katie Dain, CEO of the NCD Alliance<\/p>\n<p>A collaboration across public, private and non-profit health and development sectors, the ambitious project represents a great diversity of voices from around the world.
