KUWAIT: Based on the principle of community partnership between various bodies in the private and public sectors, and in order to improve the concepts of social, health and community development to achieve Kuwait's 2035 vision in the health field, the development department of the Patients Helping Fund Society supported the Kuwait Medical Students Association in holding a practical workshop on the occasion of World Diabetes Day.

The aim was to teach medical students from various stages the correct scientific methods for measuring the blood sugar level, complications related to the disease and ways to prevent it in order to raise awareness among students and enable them to acquire important clinical skills. The association contributed to an exhibition in which health awareness publications were distributed to spread health awareness among visitors.

The Patients Helping Fund Society also participated with the department of cultural and artistic activities at the Jabriya College of Medicine on imbalance and hearing loss, and discussed its causes and solutions.
