Clinical advocates play a crucial role in raising the profile of diabetes in South Africa. The voice of lived experience is powerful, but when combined with the voice of healthcare professionals, it is unstoppable.

Clinical advocacy for diabetes in South Africa is of particular importance because of the rising numbers of people with diabetes in our country.

By advocating for effective policies, better healthcare, and newer technologies, clinical advocates can empower both people living with diabetes and other healthcare professionals to work collaboratively. The goal? Better quality of life for all those with diabetes.

If you are a healthcare professional and feel inspired to advocate for people living with diabetes, please register here to keep up to date with ongoing diabetes advocacy campaigns. We are very respectful of time, and will only reach out when truly necessary.
