Treating Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) on a
Global Scale
Domestic Violence & Child Mental Impairment
Scientific studies have demonstrated a substantial correlation between child maltreatment (i.e. physical, sexual, emotional abuse; neglect, and exposure to domestic violence/interparental violence, war context, grief, separation from loved ones, health abuse, etc), and the development of mental health dysfunction.
Maltreatment & Non-Communicable Disease (NCDs)
It is also documented that child maltreatment increases the odds by 49% for the development of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in adulthood, e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, chronic respiratory diseases, mental health problems and musculoskeletal conditions. (*)
Scientific Medicine & Holistic Treatment Approach
INNTRA wants to champion the alliance between traditional
health protocols and a more integrative approach to care in
regard to medical treatment.
