The initiative is aimed at making them equipped with capabilities in treatments for fighting diabetes and eliminating its complications."
"The national committee for fighting diabetes also has strategies to train about 500 general practitioners from public and private sectors in the UAE. The plan will facilitate the health authorities achieve the best practices by developing methods of diabetes care, eliminating complications of the disease and enhancing the strategies of combating diabetes," explained Dr Fikri.
