My name is Jofti and I’m from the Philippines. For 10 years, I have lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I'm sharing my story because I want people to realize that being diagnosed with a chronic condition can be turned into a great opportunity for health advocacy and awareness, redefining leadership according to the patients perspectives, and sharing how my condition is a "mercy in disguise".
NCD Diaries
There is power in voices. Leadership can be collective, thriving through shared vision and collective action.
