According to the International Diabetes Federation, there are 65 million people living with diabetes in India and that number is expected to increase to 109 million by the year 2030. Thanks to your generous support, Project HOPE is fighting hard to break that trend through Project UDAY in India.
With a focus on early detection, prevention, management and timely referrals, Project UDAY develops skilled healthcare professionals and patient networks to combat the rising problem of noncommunicable diseases. Project UDAY is strengthening the community response to diabetes through health education at festivals and events, as well as evidence-based training for healthcare workers.
“Through UDAY, we are bringing meaningful, long-term changes that benefit people with diabetes today and will hopefully prevent its onset with others moving forward,” said Craig Waugh, Global Leader, Lilly NCD Partnership.
Thank you for joining us to make a difference in the lives of those impacted by noncommunicable diseases in India! With your support, we can truly help stop the growing rate of diabetes and provide sustainable health solutions for the future.
