The World Health Organization (WHO) will focus on the need for equitable access to essential diabetes care this year on World Diabetes Day (Nov 14).
The day provides an opportunity to shed light on the global significance of diabetes as a critical public health challenge. It serves as a platform to emphasise the collective and individual efforts required to enhance the prevention, diagnosis, and management of this condition.
The day also aims to raise awareness about strategies for individuals with diabetes to reduce their risk of complications.
Additionally, the activities planned for the day will celebrate the experiences of people living with various forms of diabetes, empowering them to take proactive steps, including seeking and obtaining vital medical care.
