DDEA Global Health Podcast
How can global policy efforts better support and manage care in low-resource settings worldwide?
Type 1 diabetes requires lifelong and carefully monitored treatment. However, low- and middle-income countries face difficulties in providing optimal treatment due to limited resources and infrastructure.
In its first series, The DDEA Global Health Podcast dives into the challenges in type 1 diabetes care and research in low- and middle-income countries, and meets experts who are paving the way to progress with concrete actions.
The topics of this series include: lived experiences, the WHO Global Diabetes Compact, data foundations, access to insulin and supplies, healthcare systems, philanthropic programmes, and advocacy.
