Our colleagues met José at an NCD office in the primary care centre in the Lambayeque region, where he just attended a medical appointment. Eight years ago, he was diagnosed with diabetes and now takes medication and regularly attends the primary care centre to receive diabetes education and care.
He first found out about his condition when he had to go to the hospital for a medical emergency.
He was experiencing a severe episode of decompensated diabetes. There, he was advised to have a fundus examination of the back of the eye. This examination is crucial for people with diabetes, as it can reveal changes in the blood vessels that can lead to diabetic retinopathy.
In the second half of 2024, WDF approved seven new projects, largely focusing on scaling up the NCD prevention and primary care efforts across Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and South-East Asia.
