Diabetes is increasingly becoming an epidemic in the world
382 million are already infected; and the number will rise to almost 600 million in 2035
While in the past, mostly spread in developed countries, it is now growing at exponential rates in developing and emerging countries.
Same for Africa: Already 19 million, it is forecasted to more than double in the next twenty years.
Diabetes is often thought to be harmless, since although it can be treated very effectively and does allow the patients to enjoy a high quality of life
But the situation is different in developing countries.
Here we face a problem of
This causes the illness to largely remain not sufficiently or completely untreated
Major health complications: kidney damage, blindness, lower limb amputation, death
Already 15% of hospital admissions in countries like Kenya, a lot of money
The worst: This is completely unnecessary!!
In fact, diabetes can be easily treated by providing the patients with information and knowledge to get help and take appropriate action.
But in most of the cases, rthe patient is just left alone with the disease
Massive potential to empower the patient
This is where Glukoa seeks to address this by
Limited awareness and knowledge about diabetes
Geographically inaccessible assistance
Lack of localized features and content
Huge potential of diabetes self-management education and telehealth, but very limited in the vast majority of countries.
