Hundreds came together Friday to raise awareness about diabetes during the 17th annual walkathon organised by the Qatar Diabetes Association (QDA) at Oxygen Park in Education City.
“In November, people worldwide participate in Diabetes Walks to mark World Diabetes Day,” QDA executive director Dr Abdulla al-Hamaq said. “Every year, we organise a walkathon to raise diabetes awareness and recognise people living with diabetes in Qatar.”
“By walking and the whole day events, we took important steps towards developing a wider understanding of diabetes,” he said.
