World Diabetes Day 2025
World Diabetes Day 2025 World Diabetes Day 2025 brought together the diabetes community across the Middle East and North Africa to raise awareness of diabetes and promote better prevention, care, and support for people living with the condition. The IDF MENA Region supported and promoted activities led by its member associations, healthcare professionals, partners, and communities throughout the region. These activities helped highlight the importance of diabetes awareness, early detection, healthy lifestyles, access to quality care, and empowering people with diabetes. Through regional collaboration and coordinated action, IDF MENA continues to strengthen the collective response to diabetes and amplify the message that diabetes care and prevention require everyone to play a role. Each year on 14 November, the global community observes World Diabetes Day (WDD), an awareness campaign initiated by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) together with the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1991 to combat the rising burden of diabetes. For 2025, WDD’s theme is “Diabetes and Well-being”, with a focused sub-campaign calling for action on “Diabetes and the workplace” (World Diabetes Day).
