The Diabetes Alliance in South Africa (SA) will be organising the second edition of the South African Diabetes Summit on 15 November 2023. It will be held in Pretoria, Gauteng.
The 2023 Diabetes Summit will be jointly organised by the Diabetes Alliance and the University of Pretoria Diabetes Research Centre.
The Diabetes Summit seeks to bring together people living with diabetes, diabetes advocates, policy-makers, health authorities and government officials, academics, healthcare providers, governmental and non-governmental agencies, pharmaceutical industries, and other stakeholders to advance the diabetes response in South Africa and to accelerate progress towards the implementation of the National Strategic Plan (NSP) for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable diseases (NCDs+), 2022 - 2027.
The Diabetes Summit is in its second iteration. This year’s theme is “Diabetes Targets, Translating Policy into Reality”.
The 2023 Diabetes Summit will focus on the newly adopted 90-60-50 cascade for diabetes and hypertension as the first step to improving early detection and treatment of NCDs+. Achieving the diabetes and hypertension targets requires a whole-of-society approach. Subsequently, the Diabetes Alliance is taking a leading role in bringing all stakeholders and interested parties together to hold constructive and open engagements and map out how all players can contribute towards the achievement of these targets.
Throughout the Summit, several discussion panels will be held, addressing the various components of the National Strategic Plan as well as implementation barriers and enablers. The Summit will further explore the role of government, academia, healthcare providers, non-governmental organisations, and other players in improving the prevention and control of diabetes and hypertension in the context of integrated and people-centred health services.
