As the whole world focuses on addressing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is also important to note that we are faced with equally and relatively important pandemic-like diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and other chronic diseases. To date, we have four million adults in the Philippines diagnosed with diabetes, and recent preliminary data from the Philippine Statistics Authority shows that diabetes is the 4th leading cause of death in the country in 2020. Diabetes is also included in the list of top co-morbidities of COVID-19, hence it is worth the attention it needs when we talk about the good health and well-being of Filipinos living with diabetes.

Join us on 21 May 2021, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM, and hear it from Novo Nordisk as they share how the company contributes on good health and well-being of the people through their defeat diabetes strategy, doctor & patient support solution programmes in the country and how these all circle back to the protection of the environment through their circular for zero global initiative.

Novo Nordisk Philippines was awarded Outstanding Employer of the Year during the Nordic Sustainability Awards held in February of this year.
