IDF Europe’s call to action
Building on the European Parliament Resolution on Diabetes and the IDF Europe-WHO Europe Declaration, but also considering what is missing from these documents, IDF Europe’s call to action throughout 2024 focuses on urging policy-makers to recognise diabetes as one of the most pressing health challenges of our time and accelerate action to leave no-one behind by acting on the following key areas:
- Political commitment and financing
- Health determinants and health-enabling environments
- Integration of care and novel care pathways
- Education and shortage of healthcare professionals
- Empowerment and engagement of people living with diabetes
- Research, innovation and digitalisation of healthcare systems
- Uninterrupted, equitable and affordable access to medicines, technologies and care
To support our call to action, we also developed a Pledge which gathers the views of the entire diabetes community ahead of the upcoming European Elections.
