  2. Diabetes in 2013-14 The global burden and threat of NCDs constitutes a major public health challenge that undermines social and economic development throughout the world… World Health Organization, Global Action Plan for the Prevention & Control of Noncommunicable Diseases 2013-2020 By the end of 2013, diabetes will have caused 5.1 million deaths and cost USD 548 billion in healthcare spending. Without concerted action to prevent diabetes, in less than 25 years’ time there will be 592 million people living with the disease. Most of those cases would be preventable. International Diabetes Federation, IDF Diabetes Atlas, 6th Edition, 2013 Diabetes is a huge and growing problem, and the costs to society are high and escalating.

    @dokikoYAMAYOKO There are some, there are. They don’t even check for infectious diseases in the early stage examinations and discretionary checks, and then for mid stage examinations they just check the red blood cell count. But, locally, they’re known as a friendly and popular maternity hospital ^_^;. Pregnant women think that just because an establishment puts up a sign they’re doing things properly, so I think it’s really sad for those going to that place.^_^;.

    @junta0201 Yeah, there are, aren’t there. I’m so tired of it. They’re cheap too, so the patients seem to like them. It’s seriously sad for the patients.
  • In Japan, HCPs talk less about prevention & risk; more about diagnosis, monitoring & testing. In Venezuela, prevention is the big topic.
    In South America, prevention & risk is a bigger concern than in N America (by %).
    Why? Let’s take a look at one possible factor.
