Diabetic Foot Care and Prevention Training Headed by Dasman Diabetes Institute
In an effort to reduce complications and enhance the quality of life for people living with diabetes, the Dasman Diabetes Institute (DDI) has been at the forefront of promoting practical skills among frontline clinicians in Kuwait.
The institute's mission is clear: to prevent amputations, reduce complications, and improve the overall well-being of diabetes patients. To achieve this, DDI places great emphasis on timely screening, standardized protocols, and a multidisciplinary approach in the prevention of foot ulcers and amputations.
These initiatives are not limited to the walls of the institute. DDI is working tirelessly to promote best practices across Kuwait's healthcare network, ensuring that diabetes care is accessible and effective for all.
A key part of DDI's strategy involves offering practical training for frontline clinicians. By equipping healthcare professionals with the necessary skills, they can provide the highest standard of care to diabetes patients, helping to prevent complications and improve outcomes.
Public awareness is another crucial aspect of DDI's work. Through various initiatives, the organisation aims to educate the public about diabetes and its management, empowering individuals to take control of their health.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently participated in a workshop titled "The Prevention and Management of Diabetic Foot Complications" in September 2022, alongside DDI and the Central Administration for Primary Health Care. This collaboration underscores the global importance of addressing the unique challenges posed by diabetes in the Middle East and North Africa.
Sadly, many health systems in this region underutilize foot screening and patient education, leaving a significant gap in care. Recognizing this, DDI has stepped up to address this gap, offering clinical guidelines, hands-on training, and public awareness initiatives.
As the fight against diabetes continues, DDI remains committed to improving diabetes care in Kuwait. Through its dedication to education, training, and public awareness, the institute is making a significant impact on the lives of those living with diabetes, helping to ensure a brighter, healthier future for all.
