Merck and International Diabetes Federation agree new partnership

Merck has announced a new partnership with the International Diabetes Federation that will help to raise awareness of the risks posed by type 2 diabetes.

The organisations will work together to implement education and communications activities emphasising the importance of preventing the disease, which has been identified as one of the largest global health emergencies of the 21st century.

The first partnership project will deliver a training course for healthcare professionals about preventing type 2 diabetes, which will be developed with an educational grant from Merck that will enable unlimited access for medical workers around the world.

This collaboration aligns with the goals of Healthy Women, Healthy Economies, a global awareness-raising initiative spearheaded by Merck to promote healthier lifestyles for women at risk of or living with diabetes.

Dr Belen Garijo, member of the executive board and chief executive officer for healthcare at Merck, said: "Merck shares the International Diabetes Federation's vision of promoting diabetes care and prevention worldwide, and we are committed to helping improve the lives of people living with or at risk of type 2 diabetes."
