RIYADH: The Saudi Health Endowment Fund marked World Diabetes Day, observed annually on Nov. 14, by announcing the launch of a new fund dedicated to supporting children with Type 1 diabetes across the Kingdom, aiming to significantly improve their quality of life and care by facilitating access to modern insulin pumps.
In its initial phase, the fund aims to support 600 children annually by providing advanced insulin pumps, which represent one of the latest treatment options for controlling blood sugar and reducing the need for daily injections.
This intervention is expected to improve children’s physical and psychological well-being, while reducing the risk of complications as well as the health care burden on families and medical facilities.
The Health Endowment Fund called upon donors and community organizations to contribute.
