“Although it is good to have herbal medicines in the villages, let’s hear it from the health experts. For us, it is just increasing awareness about all the NCDs and other diseases that are prevalent in our villages. Let’s hear it from the experts in our health department.”

Halofaki adds this initiative aims to expand beyond urban areas, potentially reaching rural communities in local languages.
