“Losing a limb often affects not only the individual who has lost the limb, but also the family.”
Those are the words of the Minister for Health, Rosy Akbar while speaking at the official launch of the Fight Against Non-Communicable Diseases at Courts Rodwell Road in Suva earlier today.
Akbar says patients that get their limbs amputated as a result of non-communicable diseases have to now get support and help as they have to adapt to changes that may happen in the family.
She adds that good health is a choice people make for their families and for themselves.
Meanwhile, Courts Director of Marketing, Anil Senewiratne says the aim for the event is to spread a message of healthy living.
Senewiratne says Courts Fiji Limited has always sold items which can help promote healthy living, however he says they will be doing more in the days to come.
