The burden of MS is growing in sub-Saharan Africa, affecting ~49,000 people. We’re committed to advancing the understanding of underlying disease activity, diagnostics and awareness so people like Brain can access the care they need sooner. youtube.com/watch?v=P2upbj…

One in two women in sub-Saharan Africa are not alive five years after a #BreastCancer diagnosis. We can, and must, change this. By working together to improve screening and diagnosis, we can help to improve outcomes for women across the continent. #CancerSurvivorsDay

Did you know that one blood donation can save up to three lives? On #WorldBloodDonorDay, 14 June, we celebrate the heroes who donate blood and ensure a healthier future for all. #DonateBloodSaveaLife #BloodSafety #HealthcareAfrica #RocheAfrica #RocheDiagnostics

This #WorldBloodDonorDay, we highlight the importance of donating blood. In Africa, the blood supply is severely limited. Just taking a bit of time out of your day today could mean a lifetime to someone else. #DonateBloodSaveaLife #RocheAfrica #RocheDiagnostics

If you are nervous about donating blood for the first time, consider the impact just a few minutes could make. Donating blood can be a simple and rewarding experience that means the world to someone else. #WorldBloodDonorDay #RocheAfrica #RocheDiagnostics

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the blood donation rate in lower-income countries is only 4.6 per 1000 people compared to 33.1 in high-income countries. By donating blood on #WorldBloodDonorDay, you can help change the statistics and save lives. #RocheAfrica #RocheDiagnostics

Working together, #RocheDiagnostics and AfricaCoBA partner to ensure that patients who need blood feel secure if they find themselves in circumstances that require a blood transfusion. Blood safety should be non-negotiable. #WorldBloodDonorDay #RocheAfrica #BloodSafety

This week, Roche’s Astrid Kiermaier joined the 3rd EU-AFRICA PerMed Stakeholders Workshop on collaboration in #PersonalisedMedicine, where she highlighted the private sector's role in advancing #GenomicResearch in Africa. Looking forward to more sustainable partnerships! #PerMed

With Africa’s population estimated to double by 2050, we’re prioritising public-private partnerships to ensure everyone can receive the healthcare they deserve. #WorldPopulationDay

African #Healthcare is at a crossroads, requiring precision health approaches rooted in local #Genomic data. Our partner @Christian_Happi at ACEGID explores the limitations and potential of genomic research in Africa in a new Nature article. Read here: go.nature.com/4cS0iSq

We are excited to share how we help health systems to #PutPeopleFirst in thriving in #HIV care and fighting related infections such as hepatitis, tuberculosis, and HPV. Join us at  #AIDS2024, the 25th International @AIDS_Conference to learn more: bit.ly/international-…

Did you know #hepatitis B and C are leading causes of chronic liver disease in Africa? Dying from viral hepatitis in Africa is becoming a bigger threat than dying from #HIV, #malaria or #tuberculosis. Get tested for a lifetime of peace of mind. #RocheDiagnostics #RocheAfrica

Hepatitis is preventable and treatable, yet it kills thousands every day. Join us in raising awareness about vaccination and regular testing. Testing could save your life – or the life of a loved one. #RocheDiagnostics #RocheAfrica #HepatitisPrevention #WorldHepatitisDay

In #Africa, there is a marked lack of awareness about #Hepatitis – a viral infection that can be deadly. #RocheDiagnostics is spreading awareness to encourage more Africans to get tested. With early diagnosis, hepatitis can be treated. #GetTested today. #WorldHepatitisDay

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), viral #hepatitis B and C are an #epidemic. In #Africa, chronic viral hepatitis affects over 70 million. At #RocheDiagnostics, we partner with key stakeholders to promote early testing and lifesaving treatment. Let's #EndHepatitis by #2030.

Did you know 60% of liver cancers in Africa are due to late diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B and C? We’re committed to pursuing partnerships that prioritise early detection and awareness campaigns in Africa, to turn the tide on liver cancer cases. #WorldHepatitisDay

On #WorldHepatitisDay, by #2030 we are working to: 🔵 Decrease chronic hepatitis B and C by 90%. 🔵 Reduce hepatitis-related deaths by 65%. 🔵 Ensure that 80% of eligible people with chronic hepatitis B and C are treated. Find out more: bit.ly/3xKw4BZ

Did you know? African women face higher breast cancer rates than others, with 60-70% diagnosed at late stages, leading to lower survival rates. Take charge of your health—spend 5 minutes every 30 days doing a Breast Self-Exam. Early detection means 4 in 5 women can survive.

#RocheSouthAfrica has been ranked one of the Standard Bank ZA Top Gender Empowered Companies for 2024. It is an honour to be recognised as an organisation that genuinely cares about uplifting and contributing to the well-being of women in South Africa. #TopWomenLeaders

This #GynaecologicalCancerAwarenessMonth, early detection and diagnosis need to be the priority. Not just for gynaecological cancers, but breast cancer too. By screening for these cancers together in Africa, women stand more chance of surviving.
