Diabetes Action Now
is a joint initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). The programme focuses on low- and middle-income communities, particularly in developing countries. It aims to stimulate and support the adoption of effective measures for the surveillance, prevention and control of diabetes and to achieve a substantial increase in global awareness about diabetes and its complications.
