Americares India observed the month of November as ‘Diabetes Awareness’ month with the aim to educate people on the causes, symptoms, and management of #diabetes . Our Mobile Health Centre team organized numerous engaging activities for the community members. This included street plays, rallies and educational sessions by our health facilitators. To make the sessions interesting and interactive, our team used the technique of storytelling for patients visiting the mobile health vans. People also took photos at the booth, proudly showcasing their attempt to control and manage diabetes.   We witnessed participation from over 4000 people across 130 slum locations in Mumbai. Lancet calls diabetes the ‘defining disease of the century’ and the disease is on rapid rise among the urban poor too. Americares India is dedicatedly working with the communities on mobilization and encourage people to make lifestyle changes and adhere to prescribed medical intervention. #americaresindiafoundation #aif #mobilehealthcentre #mhc #worlddiabetesday #diabetesawareness #diabetesawarenessmonth
