Event Description
Agenda announced!
Nearly 1 in10 people (around 50 million) suffer from diabetes in Europe today and it is anticipated that the disease will affect more than 80 million people by 2045.
Type 2 diabetes will account for the majority of cases. The outlook for complications is bleak: blindness, amputation, cardiovascular events among others. Improving care for people with diabetes requires us to think differently. We cannot expect health systems designed to care for people with acute illnesses to meet the needs of large numbers of citizens living with long-term conditions such as diabetes. It’s time to reimagine how care is delivered. EFPIA examined how healthcare systems are tackling diabetes and have found more can be done.
To mark World Diabetes Day (14 November) we are inviting you to be more ambitious about the future of diabetes!
MEP Christel Schaldemose (DK, S&D) a renowned diabetes campaigner, is hosting a breakfast event in the European Parliament on 21 November to discuss how to strengthen European policies to the benefit of people with diabetes. During the event, speakers will present new policy recommendations and the panellists will engage in a lively discussion on how to address this growing epidemic.
