She noted that while government had facilities to offer free testing for non-communicable diseases like diabetes, there is a challenge of reagents and supplies used in the equipment.

She adds that another commitment was carrying out screening for early signs of diabetes-related kidney diseases which are available in all regional referrals general health facilities and HC4s but is not carried out routinely due to challenges of reagents and supplies.
