UNICEF USAMeet Somati and her three daughters in Nepal. Diagnosed with sickle-cell disease at age 29, Somati’s journey is one of resilience – and a reminder of the importance of detection and treatment in combatting non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which affect millions of people worldwide every year. With financial support from Eli Lilly and Company to the U.S. fund for UNICEF, UNICEF is working to strengthen health systems, equipping communities in low- to middle-income countries with the tools they need to manage and prevent NCDs – and thrive. #NCDAwareness
