Screening Services
Conducting screenings for diabetes and hypertension in at-risk populations for early detection and intervention.
Early detection of diabetes and hypertension is critical for preventing complications and improving health outcomes. We offer screening services in communities, workplaces, and healthcare settings to identify individuals at risk of these conditions. Our screenings include assessments of blood glucose levels, blood pressure measurements, and risk factor evaluations, allowing us to identify individuals who may benefit from further evaluation and intervention.
Public Awareness
Raising awareness about diabetes within the general population to foster understanding and prevention.
Increasing awareness about diabetes is vital for prevention, early detection, and effective management of the condition. Through public awareness campaigns, workshops, and community outreach events, we strive to educate the general population about the risk factors, symptoms, and complications of diabetes. By raising awareness, we aim to reduce stigma, encourage healthy behaviors, and promote early intervention.
Collaboration and Liaison

Collaboration with other civil society organizations is essential for maximizing the impact of our efforts to address diabetes and other non-communicable diseases.

Through these partnerships, we leverage collective expertise and resources to support individuals and communities affected by diabetes.
Self-Care Education

We provide information on topics such as nutrition, exercise, medication adherence, and blood glucose monitoring, enabling individuals to make informed decisions about their health.
