RIYADH: Top Saudi medical institutions have come together to support diabetic patients and improve outcomes for those living with the chronic illness.

Diabetes is one of the Kingdom’s most significant public health challenges in the Kingdom, with many patients receiving care across Ministry of Health diabetic centers, according to the International Diabetes Federation.

Among them, complications remain a growing concern, particularly with diabetic foot, which is often associated with reduced blood circulation and underlying conditions such as peripheral artery disease.

Diabetic foot is one of the most serious complications of diabetes, often developing as a result of nerve damage and underlying vascular issues.

If left untreated, it can lead to foot ulcers, infections and, in advanced cases, lower-limb amputation.
