PRINCESS Zahara Aga Khan has called upon African and Asian governments to invest in early childhood development to prevent chronic non-communicable diseases.

“Early childhood experiences have a direct impact on brain development and exposure to a safe environment, appropriate activities and a balanced diet are essential for the normal development of a healthy adult,” said Zahara.

She said since many diseases were a result of attitudes and lifestyles, prevention should explore the parenting techniques, traditions and eating habits.
