2024 in review: United World Against Diabetes (UWAD)

In 2024, a key event organised by United World Against Diabetes (UWAD) was the 'Diabetes Free India Walk 2024'.

The United World Against Diabetes celebrated World Diabetes Day 2024 in rural India.

Diabetes awareness campaigns targeted towards women in rural areas are crucial because rural populations often have significantly lower access to healthcare, higher rates of risk factors and limited knowledge about diabetes, leading to a higher prevalence of undiagnosed and poorly managed diabetes, which can result in severe complications, especially for women due to their unique physiological changes throughout life, like pregnancy and menopause; therefore, targeted awareness campaigns can empower rural women to take proactive steps towards managing their diabetes risk and seeking timely medical care.
