South Africa’s Inaugural Diabetes Summit

Oct 1

Member organisations of SA Diabetes Advocacy, as well as many individuals living with diabetes, have been involved in creating South Africa’s Inaugural Diabetes Summit, co-hosted by the Diabetes Alliance and the University of Pretoria Diabetes Research Centre.

Building Back Better: Diabetes Response in SA post-COVID

In the immediate wake of COVID-19, it is time to take stock. As one of the top co-morbidities for severe COVID-19 infection and poor outcomes, diabetes has been brought into the spotlight.

The South African Diabetes Summit will take stock of the current diabetes situation and produce a Diabetes Charter that will allow the government and all interested parties to “build back better” in terms of the South African response to the diabetes epidemic. The event is co-hosted by the Diabetes Alliance and the University of Pretoria Diabetes Research Centre.
