The theme of this year's World Diabetes Day on November 14th was "Nurses make the difference", with the aim to stress the crucial role that nurses play in supporting people living with diabetes, particularly in health education. For this occasion, we have illustrated ICRC diabetes-related projects in three different contexts - Iran, Pakistan and Syria.
Below you will find
interviews with Mojtaba Kazemian, Health Field Officer in Iran, Zohra Mhamdi, Health Coordinator in Pakistan, and Kinda Khamasmie, Health Field Officer in Syria. We are also very grateful to have contributions from nurses and lady health workers working in partnering organizations from these three contexts.
