Awareness & Prevention

In Guinea-Bissau, diabetes is still a little known disease among the population. The awareness and prevention campaign is therefore of paramount importance. Its primary role is to make the population aware of the disease, to warn them and to sensitize them. The AAPDGB association therefore organizes workshops with the population to explain and prevent the disease.
