🌿 Together, we’re strengthening diabetes care in Burundi! 💪🇧🇮
About a month ago, through our Project, initiated by Village Health Action ( ) and supported by the Sanofi Global Health Unit, we organised an amazing training and mentorship program across the former provinces of Mwaro, Gitega, and Muramvya.
🩺 Over 150 nurses were trained and mentored by diabetes specialists, and more than 200 community health workers gained new skills to better support patients in their communities.
This work matters deeply in rural areas, where there are very few specialists, yet the number of people living with diabetes and hypertension keeps increasing. 💙
At the same time, an online course on diabetes, cardiology, and nephrology is running with the Université Numérique Francophone Mondiale ( ), helping doctors and paramedics strengthen their knowledge and improve patient care.
