«In our region, less than one in three adults with diabetes are on treatment and less than 15 per cent of people living with the condition have it under control.
»The lack of readiness in our primary healthcare systems in terms of standard management protocol, availability of essential medicines, issues related to availability and affordability of quality diagnostics, and trained healthcare professionals need to be remedied immediately," the WHO regional director said.
On the occasion of World Diabetes Day, being observed this year with the theme «Breaking Barriers, Bridging Gaps», Wazed said, «It serves as a reminder to all of us of the need to collectively work to overcome the growing burden of diabetes globally and in WHO South-East Asia Region.»
The theme emphasizes the importance of tackling the challenges faced by individuals, communities, and health systems to access diabetes prevention and management, she said.
