Ompangu otayi utha woo omakumagidho kombinga yoshiponga shomakaya pomahala mpoka hapu landwa omakaya oshowo kuupakete womakaya.

“Aantu oyendji oyeshi oshiponga shomakaya niizemo yomakaya naalongithi oyendji yomakaya oya hala okuhulitha po okuhila omakaya na otushi kutya otatu ya kwathele ngiini,” olopota ya holola. Omayakulo kwaamboka yahala okuhulitha po elongitho lyomakaya oga kwatela mo edhengo lyoongodhi lyoshali oshowo ehungomwenyo.

Olopota oya holola kutya omikithi dhoka hadhi ithanwa non-communicable diseases (NCDs) ohadhi e ta omaso gaali gomomaso gatatu miilongo inayi putuka, nomakaya ogeli eshongo enene momikithi ngaashi okankera nuuvu womutima.

Nonando ongaaka ooprograma dha nuninwa okushunitha pevi omikithi dhoka itadhi pewa eyambidhidho lya gwana, sho oopresenda owala mbali dhomiimaliwa ya nuninwa omayambulepo hadhi yi kooprograma ndhoka, pauyelele wa gandjwa kolopota ndjoka ya pitthwa. Olopota oya tsikile kutya otaku tengenekwa muuyuni mu na aahili yomakaya yeli poobiliyona 1.1, noopresend 80 dhaahili yomakaya mboka odhi li miilongo yiiyemo yili pevi niiyemo yopokati. Oya tsikile kutya ope na euveko lya puka kutya omahala ngoka inaga pitikwa okuhilila omakaya otaga gamene mboka ihaya hili omakaya, ihe oshili ooshoka kutya egameno otali zilile owala uuna kwa hulithwapo ehilo lyomakaya okuudha. Olopota oya tsikile kutya omathano nomakunkililo ngoka haga tulwa kuupakete womakaya ohaga thiki kaalongithi yomakaya, sho omakumagidho ngoka haga kala nuuyelele kombinga yoshiponga shomakaya, na okuwetike kutya otashi etitha aahili yomakaya ya shunithe pevi elongitho lyomakaya. Nicotine, oshingangamithi shoka hashi adhika moshimeno shekaya na ohashi nana nokuhwahwameka noonkondo elongitho lyomakaya.

Aantu mboka ya hulitha po ehilo lyomakaya ohaya mono uuwanawa wuundjolowele muule woowili nenge oominute ya hulitha po ehilo lyomakaya.

Muule womwedhi ndatu, iilonga yepunga otayi tameke nawa nomukolo oshowo uupyakadhi womifudho otayi shuna pevi muule woomwedhi omugoyi uuna omuntu a hulitha po okuhila omakaya.

Ompito yoshiponga sheso omolwa elongitho lyomakaya nayo otayi shuna pevi, uuna omuntu a hulitha po elongitho lyomakaya.
