MoH trains doctors, nurses on diabetes

 APSA International Project Manager, Veronique La Hausse, told Mmegi in an interview that the aim of the three-year pilot project is to equip trainees, who are nurses and doctors, to educate diabetic patients on how to change their lifestyles by choosing activities that are relevant to their contexts, be it culture or religion, but would still have a long-term compliance with the disease. 

"Once someone has diabetes, we take it to be critical and patients therefore have to adopt new lifestyles that will help them live longer," she said.
