The project seeks to decrease the prevalence of lower extremity amputations in people with diabetes as well as people, who already have neurological and vascular complications.
Expected impact
Implementation of the project in at least 50 primary care units (10 in each country)
At least 150-200 people trained
15,000 people with diabetes (3,000 in each country) reached by the project
Result to date
A diabetes protocol and educational material have been developed and printed
An international workshop was held in April 2006; 10 clinics have been identified, 26 “master trainers” were trained and will then train their colleagues in their home countries
Five national workshops have been held, including the identification of 10 primary care units in each participating country
