Daman Promotes Diabetes Awareness Month With Comprehensive Initiatives Across The UAE

The National Insurance Company – Daman, a part of PureHealth, is intensifying its focus on preventive health and chronic disease management. This initiative coincides with Diabetes Awareness Month, aiming to provide individuals and communities in the UAE with essential knowledge and tools to prevent and manage diabetes effectively.

Throughout November, Daman is actively engaging in awareness campaigns at client locations. These initiatives include preventive health screenings to facilitate early detection and an educational webinar featuring expert insights. Additionally, members will receive a newsletter concentrating on endocrine diseases, particularly diabetes.

Diabetes continues to pose a significant global health challenge. The International Diabetes Federation reports that 589 million adults worldwide are living with diabetes. This number is projected to increase to 853 million by 2050. In 2024 alone, the disease was responsible for 3.4 million deaths globally.

Daman's strategy revolves around its Diabetes Disease Management Programme. This programme offers personalised care plans, regular glucose monitoring, lifestyle coaching, and medication support for members. By collaborating closely with healthcare providers, it ensures coordinated treatment and promotes healthier habits to prevent complications.

Since 2010, Daman’s Disease Management Programmes have assisted over 30,000 members across the UAE in managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. These efforts have helped individuals achieve better control and improved wellbeing.

Khaled Ateeq Aldhaheri, Chief Executive Officer of Daman, emphasised the company's dedication to fostering a culture of prevention through initiatives that empower individuals with knowledge and access to quality care. He stated that prevention remains central to Daman’s long-term strategy and that proactive community actions enhance national wellbeing.

Promoting Active Lifestyles

Daman encourages individuals to adopt active and balanced lifestyles as crucial measures for preventing and managing diabetes. Regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and consuming a balanced diet are proven methods to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and improve blood-sugar control.

As part of its Health Insurance Literacy campaign titled "Ensure You Know," Daman has been educating the public on diabetes prevention and management. The campaign highlights the importance of understanding insurance coverage for check-ups, screenings, medication, and ongoing care.

Through these comprehensive efforts, Daman continues to raise awareness, empower individuals, and support healthier communities across the UAE. The company remains committed to advancing preventive health measures that contribute positively to national wellbeing.
