Thailand, like many countries in the Western Pacific region, faces the challenge of a rising diabetes prevalence. Over the past decade, the country has witnessed a significant increase in the number of people living with diabetes. Lifestyle changes, urbanisation, and dietary shifts have contributed to this rise, highlighting the urgent need for concerted efforts to improve diabetes awareness, prevention, and management.
However, Thailand has also demonstrated a commitment to addressing this health concern. The country has implemented public health initiatives, educational campaigns, and community outreach programmes to raise awareness about diabetes and promote healthier lifestyles. This and the region’s commitment to advancing medical research and innovative healthcare solutions aligns seamlessly with the goals of the IDF World Diabetes Congress.
As a leading platform for sharing advancements in diabetes research, treatment, and care, the IDF Congress requires a venue that seamlessly combines world-class facilities, cultural richness, and unmatched hospitality. We believe that Bangkok, with its vibrant atmosphere and cutting-edge infrastructure, perfectly embodies these qualities.
