The C3T celebrates 10 years

This year, the Cameroon Coalition to Counter Tobacco (C3T) blows out 10 candles!

During this occasion, the network of associations fighting since 2006 for a Cameroon free from disease and deaths related to tobacco use,wishes to draw the attention of policymakers and communities about the impact of NCDs on individuals and society.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tobacco is the only common risk factor to the four groups of NCDs.

NCDs are the principal cause of mortality in the world, with more than 36 million deaths per year. Poor countries are the most affected with the consequences of NCDs. 

With this reality, the Cameroon Coalition to Counter Tobacco, wishes on the occasion of its 10^th anniversary contribute to the fight against non-communicable diseases through a broad outreach and information on NCDs.
