As part of its national efforts, the ministry is strengthening diabetes prevention and early detection through updated clinical guidelines, specialised screening programmes, healthcare provider training and improved integrated care services.

Throughout November, the MoPH is also conducting awareness activities in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Hamad Medical Corporation and the University of Doha for Science and Technology.
