In 5 of Phnom Penh's slums trained diabetic peer educators show other diabetes patients how they too can successfully self-manage their disease. Two-thirds are women. They organize low-cost outpatient care, supply of prescription medication, eye-checks and lab tests for all diabetes patients who are registered. Membership is free. The 250 poorest diabetics who still cannot cope with the costs get special vouchers. These entitle them to a 70% discount on their monthly pharmacy bills. project reportread updates from the field
