With MoH, we've launched the UN #Health4Life Project — a joint initiative with @WHO & @unicefzambia @ USD 1M to prevent & control #NCDs & improve mental health among ZM's youth. Invest in prevention today for a healthier, more productive generation tomorrow. 🌱

Today we celebrate the heartbeat of change — #Youth! 💥
From bold ideas to fearless action, young changemakers are proving that the #FutureIsNow 🌍✨ This #YouthDay, we honour "Local Youth Actions for the #SDGs and Beyond," and we keep amplifying #YouthVoices for a better world.
