TYPE 1 DIABETES SUPPORT ADVOCACY PROGRAM

About the Program

Type 1 Diabetes has been almost neglected due to the perception that fewer people are sick. However, the fatality rate is high, and living with it is a challenge for both those affected and their families.

Mostly affecting children, it can severely impact growth and development if not prioritized in healthcare systems and public awareness.

Cameroon has about 15 government-designated centers of care, including two in the Northwest Region: the Regional Hospital in Bamenda and the Banso Baptist Hospital in Kumbo.

Our work addresses the diverse needs of people living with Type 1 Diabetes through advocacy, research, access, awareness, and engagement.

Our Focus

RADA seeks to improve lives by raising awareness, supporting sustainable livelihoods, and promoting health and wellbeing.

We recognize meaningful engagement as critical in delivering effective support to those with Type 1 Diabetes.

Why We Do This

Many children with Type 1 Diabetes outgrow the programs, while new cases emerge. Schools, parents, and churches often lack the knowledge to detect early signs and symptoms.

Rapid response and the right support are vital in managing and preventing this chronic condition.

We call on partners and stakeholders to collaborate with us in research, engagement, and sustainable responses to Type 1 Diabetes in Cameroon.
