“Eat correctly! Be active! Follow the recommendations of doctor! Win a diabetes!” is the title of the conference timed to the World Health Day-2016.

As the head of the country office of WHO Bagtygul Karriyeva has noted in her speech, today 64 million people live in the European region with a diabetes - 33 million women and 31 million men older 18 years of age. Prevalence of this disease in the European region during 1980-2014 period has grown by 2 %. 9 % of all expenses on public health services in Europe, that is 156 bln. USA dollars was spent to diabetes. According to WHO estimations, 23 million people at the age from 20 till 79 suffer from diabetes in Europe region, the fifth part of which has not been diagnosed yet.


Diabetes, she has noted, can be the reason of development of cardiovascular diseases, blindness, nephritic insufficiency and many others. Diabetes epidemic in the European region is connected, first of all, with body distribution in superfluous weight, unhealthy food, insufficient physical activity. It is counted up that at least 20 % of 2 type diabetes can be prevented.

It is scientifically argued that simple measures on change of lifestyle effectively prevent or defer the beginning of a 2 type diabetes, - have underlined the representatives of the Ministry of Health and medical industry of Turkmenistan in their speeches. Prevalence of a diabetes promptly grows in many countries, and our state has faced the same problem. It is proved that the diabetes is responsive to the treatment. It is subject to control and influence, in order to avoid complications. A considerable part of cases of diabetes illness be can prevented.

One of the important parties of the Turkmen public health services system is the political will on improvement of health services of the population. Priorities in relation with non-infectious diseases and risk factors of their development are arranged.

In 2014 National strategy on introduction of the Ashgabat declaration on preventive maintenance of non-infectious diseases and struggle against them in Turkmenistan for 2014-2020 period is accepted.


Besides, Turkmenistan takes all necessary measures to resist diabetes epidemic. Access to diagnosing and early revealing of disease extends. Necessary treatment for sufferers with insular diabetes is provided. For training of patients to correct activity and self-control has been created and the diabetes school operates actively. Our state pays huge attention to propagation of a healthy lifestyle and realization of programs of preventive maintenance. The direct proof to that is the “Health and happiness” month campaign organized in April each year. The purpose of month campaign is to raise knowledge of the population on importance of maintenance of normal weight, regularity of physical activity and a healthy diet - about those behavioral factors that can essentially lower the risk of diabetes occurrence. The actions our country completely promotes the slogan of the World health day, accepted this year: “Eat correctly! Be active! Observe recommendations of the doctor! Win diabetes!”, - have confirmed the representatives of the Ministry of Health and medical industry.
