She rightly expressed her gratitude to Massal Touré and Asfed for this social action and invited people with diabetes to dream big regardless of the challenges.
Dr Sanogo Mamadou, endocrinologist-diabetologist at Hma, also welcomed this action, before expressing the needs of diabetic children. In particular, the transition from insulin by syringe to insulin by pen, the provision of additional care which is sometimes unbearable for many patients.
According to Colonel-Major Camara Issouf, director of Hma, diabetes is difficult for both parents and children. “We must impose a healthy and dietary diet with medication obligations (insulin injection). But, I would like you to find reasons for hope for yourselves because whatever we are in life, there is always worse. There are children with sickle cell disease, cerebral palsy, HIV, cancer, so many pathologies that are sometimes incurable, but we must always maintain hope. I would therefore like to urge you to persevere so that your projects become reality,” he advised.
Several personalities received honorary diplomas for their commitment to diabetic women and children.
Created in 2011, Asfed is an NGO whose mission is to raise awareness and assist diabetic women and children.
