Last week, a special ceremony took place at Samoa's National Health Services compound to mark the 50th anniversary of Samoa's independence. H.E. Ambassador Shemi Tzur, Israel's Ambassador to New Zealand, handed over to the Minister of Health of Samoa, Dr. Leo Tuitama Talalelei, much needed diabetes supplies donated by Insulin for Life Australia.
The donation comprised of 9 blood glucose meters, 1430 blood glucose test strips, 7400 lancets, 34 lancets devices and 3530 insulin syringes. The syringes and insulin pens are less painful and have other advantages than the bigger ones patients may have to use.
