A pregnant woman at a clinic strengthened by the Accessing Gestational Diabetes Care project in the Philippines. Two of the new projects focus on hyperglycaemia in pregnancy, building on learnings from past projects like this one.

In the second half of 2022, WDF supported a variety of projects in Africa, India and the Philippines. While each has its own unique approach, all aim to create lasting, sustainable improvements in diabetes prevention and care in the populations they target. The projects include two with a focus on gestational diabetes, and one focused on displaced populations.

The projects reflect WDF’s focus on diabetes care at the primary level and primary prevention targeting pregnant women and children. They also reflect the Foundation’s transition toward fewer but larger scale projects.
