WHO Warns Africa’s Diabetes Cases May Surge To 54 Million By 2045 Without Urgent Action

WHO said in the African Region alone, more than 24 million adults were currently living with diabetes, half of whom remain undiagnosed.

The organisation further said untreated diabetes could lead to complications, such as heart disease, stroke, nerve damage, kidney failure, lower-limb amputation, and eye disease that could result in blindness.
