Raising awareness about diabetes
Tuesday, 9 June 2015
About 10 million Bangladeshi people are suffering from diabetes and we need to encourage people to live a healthy and active life so that they can remain safe from various kinds of diseases. Our sedentary lifestyle is proving to be very bad for us and it is also encouraging our children to choose inactive, couch-potato life. Every year we observe the world diabetes day but we should spread our diabetes awareness campaign throughout the year so that more and more become conscious about this disease. Health is the most precious wealth. We cannot expect to achieve desired economic progress without ensuring health for all. Every year the number of diabetes patients is increasing. Our health care system lacks effective model to manage this menacing disease. I hope the health ministry will look into this matter and take appropriate steps to stop the menace of diabetes.
