context
Extensive research into diabetes prevention and care is being conducted around the world. However, a gap still exists globally between scientific knowledge and the policies and practices of that scientific knowledge. Furthermore, much of the existing research originates from high-income countries and is often unable to be translated or transferred to other settings.
To address these challenges, the 2021 World Health Assembly (WHA) Resolution 74.4 urges Member States to “improve diabetes management through national surveillance and surveillance systems, including surveillance integrated into existing national health information systems. “Strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of responses to and by identifying priority areas for diabetes research. ”
To achieve this goal, in 2023, WHO, in collaboration with the University of Geneva and the University of Sydney, and with financial support from the Geneva Science-Policy Interface, developed a diabetes research priority agenda. WHO hopes to formally launch this new diabetes research agenda through regional engagement, and the Americas region has been selected for this launch.
