Message from the President
Dr Ammar Ibrahim “Instituto Nacional de Diabetes, Endocrinología y Nutrición is committed to becoming the largest and most influential comprehensive health care centre for education, prevention and treatment of diabetes and endocrine diseases; it was established motivated in the context of ethical principles that led the organization to respond to the country’s social responsibility and is supported by high quality medical and paramedical resources, both for our country and other countries in Latin America.
We are member of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and with its regional office SACA we have an agreement for the formation of diabetes specialists from Central and South America, as this specialization in diabetes in these countries does not exist. Our aim is to assist a large number of patients while training large number of specialists “
