A 3-year campaign aimed at reducing the high incidence of diabetes in Kenya was launched in Nairobi on Friday.

The Diabetes Awareness and Prevention Campaign which was launched by the Kenyan government and Germany pharmaceutical firm, Merck Serono, aims to improve the quality of life and reduce complications and premature mortality in people with diabetes.

Speaking in Nairobi during the launch, Kenya?s Medical Services Minister Professor Anyang Nyong?o urged the private sector to prioritize diabetes prevention, care and treatment to prevent the disease from turning into a national epidemic.
