This month is marked by a series of initiatives by us dedicated to creating awareness, updating medical practitioners and advancing diagnostics in honor of World Diabetes Day. The urgency of our efforts is underscored by the concerning projection that Africa is expected to experience the highest surge in diabetes cases — a staggering 129% increase to 55 million individuals by 2045, according to the International Diabetes Federation.
Even more alarming is the fact that over half of those affected by diabetes in our region remain undiagnosed, primarily due to limited awareness.
Our unwavering commitment is to ensure access to quality and affordable healthcare, covering diagnostics and medications. Our goal is to enhance the well-being of millions across our diverse continent.
This World Diabetes Day, we stand united in our mission to raise awareness, provide support, and champion improved healthcare outcomes. Together, let us combat diabetes and strive for a healthier Africa.
