The FIT NGO is all about giving back to and helping our community. Our aim is to facilitate the prevention of non-communicable diseases, a major health challenges in St Kitts and Nevis. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and cancer are a major health challenge in St Kitts and Nevis with 83% of deaths in the Federation being due to these conditions.
We have developed an answer to NCDs by developing an NCD Prevention Action Plan which will focus on supporting residents of Nevis to get fit, healthy and lose weight, and thus reduce their risk of developing an NCD. A core part of the action plan is the National Weight Loss Campaign which will start in January 2019.
