We had our second quarterly Diabetes Alliance meeting in May 2021. This was the second full meeting of the Diabetes Alliance, including the National Department of Health representative, Itumeleng Setlhare, and WHO representative, Joseph Mwangi.
The agenda was as follows:
- Update on the Diabetes Registry progress by Patrick Ngassa Piotie
- The GREAT for Diabetes initiative by Prof Bob Mash from the University of Stellenbosch
- The Diabetes 8 Self-care Learning Concept by Mmusoothata Mokgalagadi
Here is the recording of the meeting:
We have space for one more board member from November 2021 to November 2022, please let me know if you would like to volunteer. The time commitment is minimal: 4 board meetings a year, one week before the Alliance meetings.
The publication Patrick mentioned in relation to the Diabetes Register is on the Diabetes Alliance website here: Data Centre Profile: The Provincial Health Data Centre of the Western Cape Province, South Africa.
