Servier joins the fight against diabetes
Diabetes, a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide with 463 million people diagnosed with diabetes globally and an alarming statistic indicating that every 8 seconds a person dies due to this disease (1), the need for awareness and education becomes more pressing than ever. In addition, a surprising fact is that 1 in 2 people with diabetes is not aware that they have this condition (1), which further underlines the urgency of addressing this public health problem.
#ACTNOWFORDIABETES 2023
Servier Central America and the Caribbean has decided to join the fight against type 2 diabetes once more with its #ACTNOWFORDIABETES campaign. Recognizing the importance of managing this disease properly, Servier is committed to taking meaningful steps throughout the month to raise awareness and educate the community about type 2 diabetes.
To meet this goal, Servier has designed a multi-channel strategy that will reach patients and physicians in the region. Some of the planned actions include:
- Informative stories on Instagram
- Educational patient leaflets
- Talks to patients in health centers given by health professionals
- Digital medical education event that will include the entire Central America and Caribbean region
