Armenia has the highest diabetes rate in the region, Yelena Agajanova,
the head of the Endocrinology Clinic of the Muratsan Medical Center,
told journalists on Wednesday.
She said that the country also has the highest diabetes mortality
rate. According to Agajanova, there are 56,000 diabetes patients in
Armenia, including 400 children.
"We do not have a national program against diabetes while our neighbors
already have," Agajanova said.
Nov 14 is World Diabetes Day. The day was introduced in 1991 by the
International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization
in response to the alarming rise of diabetes around the world. World
Diabetes Day is a campaign that features a new theme chosen by the
International Diabetes Federation each year to address issues facing
the global diabetes community.
Special lessons on diabetes will be held in 15 high schools in
Yerevan on Wednesday, to be followed by a flash mob to be held by
World Vision Armenia, Yeraz Charitable Fund and Armenian Mother and
Child Care Organization in Northern Avenue.
