Abstract
Chronic non-communicable diseases are more than just a collection of physical symptoms, but also intertwined strands of social, cultural, and economic problems whose interplay needs to be understood to address the burden of each disease. The burden of chronic diseases in Africa and in African communities elsewhere in the world is disproportionately high and even more complex, requiring a “whole-of-society” approach. This approach, together with understanding the social psychology of chronic illness in African communities, forms the basis of Professor Ama de-Graft Aikins' latest project at University College London (London, UK) titled “Chronicity and Care in African Contexts”.
