Dudley said that the ACDP has called on all ministers of social development, health and all relevant MEC’s to strengthen partnership with provincial and local organizations to provide community access to programs creating awareness.

“And knowledge to also help identify these illnesses, how to deal with them and what support is available,” added Dudley.
