Initiative Aims to Expand Diabetes Treatment

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - On the eve of World Diabetes Day, November 14, the World
   Health Organization is launching a new initiative it believes will
   allow greater access to life-saving insulin at lower prices for a
   greater number of people suffering from diabetes.

   More than 420 million people globally suffer from diabetes and are in
   need of insulin to stay alive. Diabetes, a disease that once mainly
   affected rich countries, is now most prevalent in low-and-middle-income
   countries.
