The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in sub-Saharan Africa has increased rapidly over the past decades and is expected to more than double by 2040<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A rapid change in demographic status, socio-cultural lifestyle as well as financial transitions have become the drivers for the increase in the number of diabetes mellitus cases in the region. As a result, diabetes and associated complications are increasingly the underlying cause of premature death and disability. <\/p>\n

This is the case of Guinea-Bissau, a country characterized by a poorly resourced health system. There is a growing commitment in the country to diabetes care, following the recognition that it is an important public health problem that must be addressed to improve the health of the population.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Optimal diabetes management requires an organized, systematic approach and the involvement of a coordinated team of dedicated healthcare professionals working in an environment where high-quality patient-centred care is a priority. In 2019, AAPDGB contributed to a scientific article published in the journal The Pan African Medical Journal<\/strong> which examines the state of diabetes in Guinea Bissau. The main issues identified include: the lack of specialists, trained doctors, nurses and allied health professionals; insufficient primary health care system resources; no standardized care protocol for the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and proper management of the disease; no validated epidemiological prevalence dataset; and the lack of diabetes awareness in the general population and also among medical personnel. All these issues tend to overlap and are interrelated. Thus, each problem has a detrimental impact on the other problems and ultimately results in the poor quality of diabetes care that is prevalent today in Guinea-Bissau.<\/p>\n

More information on the condition of people with diabetes in Guinea-Bissau can be found in our scientific publications.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
