PCDA Pakistan (Primary Care Diabetes Association) in a member organization of International Diabetes Federation (IDF).
PCDA Pakistan is a Non-government and non-profit organization registered in 2018 with Department of Social Welfare, Government of Sindh province of Pakistan.
PCDA has been at the forefront of diabetes care in Pakistan for last 16 years. It has been working in the field of diabetes prevention and education, in more than fifty cities and towns of Pakistan.
PCDA is currently running 65 chapters in five regions of Pakistan.
PCDA’s main frontiers of endeavors are:
a. Screening of the people at high risk
b. Awareness sessions for primary prevention
c. Awareness sessions for the people with diabetes.
d. Educating people with diabetes about prevention of complications.
e. Updating the knowledge of diabetes treating physicians through small RTDs in their hometowns.
f. Periodical meetings of the PCPs at provincial and national levels.
g. Annual & Biennial symposia of international standards.
The number of patients identified with diabetes is growing every year. For every patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, there are numerous people with type 1 diabetes and pre-diabetes who go undiagnosed. Early detection of the disease and initiation of treatment can make a huge difference in the outcome for the patient. The primary care physician plays a key role in this step.
As we all know a primary care physician deals enormous amount of patients every day so PCDA very keenly try to reach and help primary care physicians all over country. As we all know primary care physician is just like a family member to the patient’s so it is very easy for a primary care physician in detecting the signs of pre-diabetes or diabetes early and can help in slowing the progression of the disease. This can vastly lower your risk for diabetes related health complications.
