Merck Foundation<\/strong>, the philanthropic arm of Merck KGaA Germany, marks\u00a0\u2018World Diabetes Day 2022\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0together with\u00a0African First Ladies, Ministries of Health, Medical Societies and Academia<\/strong>, at their\u00a09th<\/sup>\u00a0Edition of Africa Asia Luminary<\/strong>\u00a0conducted on the\u00a014th, 15th & 16th of November 2022<\/strong>, through their long-term commitment to transform the landscape of Diabetes, Endocrinology, Hypertension and Cardiovascular care capacity in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.<\/p>\n

Senator, Dr. Rasha Kelej, CEO of Merck Foundation and One of the 100 Most Influential African Women (2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022)<\/strong>\u00a0emphasized, \u201cAt Merck Foundation, we mark\u00a0\u2018World Diabetes Day\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0in a very constructive and unique way, that is by providing more than\u00a0720 scholarships<\/strong>\u00a0for medical postgraduates from 43 countries\u00a0<\/strong>of one-year diploma and two-year Master Degree programs in Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Preventative Cardiovascular Medicine, as well as a ‘Master course in the Clinical Management of Diabetes’ in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish. Not only this but by\u00a0creating song remix called \u201c No more Diabetes \u201c by singers and musicians from Ghana, Mauritius and Mozambique and a children storybook called \u201cSugar Free\u201d in three languages English, French and Portuguese to raise awareness and create a culture shift about Diabetes prevention and early detection across Africa,\u00a0<\/strong>this song and story books are gifts from Merck Foundation to our communities and partners to mark the\u00a0\u201cworld Diabetes Day\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and also to use every day\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will work closely\u00a0<\/strong>with\u00a0African First Ladies<\/strong>, Ministries of Health, Media outlets and representative and artists to ensure that this song and storybook are distributed everywhere during the Diabetes Day, I personally consider this song as the official song of our Diabetes Day celebration and I wish that all our partners do the same\u201d, added\u00a0Senator Dr. Rasha Kelej,<\/strong>\u00a0during her speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, our strong platform of Merck Foundation Alumni, who upon completion of their respective courses, have established or will be able to establish diabetes clinics in their Health Centers or Hospitals with the aim of preventing and managing the condition in their respective communities, this has created a huge impact as there are from different provinces in each country which makes the impact nationwide and not only within the capitals, I am proud of this outstanding milestone\u201d, emphasized\u00a0Dr. Kelej.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As per World Health Organization (WHO), around 45 million adults (20-79) in the African Region have high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. These figures are estimated to reach 110 million by 2045. Moreover, Africa has the highest percentage of undiagnosed people – 70% of adults living with diabetes do not know they have it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMerck Foundation in partnership with my dear sisters, the\u00a0African First Ladies<\/strong>\u00a0has launched a new children storybook\u2013\u00a0\u2018Sugar Free\u2019 in three languages- English, French and Portuguese.\u00a0<\/strong>Through our new storybook, we want to promote a healthy lifestyle and raise awareness on the early detection, prevention, and management of Diabetes, from a young age, to remind all of you that together we can fight diabetes every day and that health is our only wealth\u201d, said\u00a0Dr. Kelej.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merck Foundation\u2019s \u201cSugar Free\u201d storybooks educate about the early signs and symptoms of Diabetes such as frequent urination, increased thirst, feeling tired and hungry, vision problems, slow wound healing, and yeast infections; and that in case one experiences any of these symptoms, one must consult a doctor and get tested. It also conveys that Diabetes Management is a lifestyle change, those living with this condition have to eat healthy, exercise regularly, stop smoking, and limit alcohol, sugar and salt intake.<\/p>\n

\n

I will work closely with African First Ladies, Ministries of Health, Media outlets and representative and artists to ensure that this song and storybook are distributed everywhere<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
