About WORLD DIABETES & WELLNESS FORUM

In our endeavour to make India the flag bearer in preventing this upcoming global epidemic, we will World Diabetes Forum, which be a communicative, consultative and a commercial platform for diabetes, impact on NCDs, wellbeing and HealthTech innovations.

Diabetes is the second largest killer globally, and India being an extremely big diabetic market, Diabetes is a major public health problem that is approaching epidemic proportions globally. Worldwide, the prevalence of chronic, noncommunicable diseases is increasing at an alarming rate. About 18 million people die every year from cardiovascular disease, for which diabetes and hypertension are major predisposing factors.
Today, more than 1.7 billion adults worldwide are overweight, and 312 million of them are obese. In addition, at least 155 million children worldwide are overweight or obese. A diabetes epidemic is underway. India leads the global top ten in terms of the highest number of people with diabetes with a current figure of 40.9 million, followed by China with 39.8 million. Behind them come USA; Russia; Germany; Japan; Pakistan; Brazil; Mexico and Egypt. Two major concerns are that much of this increase in Diabetes will occur in developing countries and that there is a growing incidence of Type 2 Diabetes at a younger age including some obese children even before puberty. In developed countries, most people with diabetes are above the age of retirement. In developing countries, those most frequently affected are in the middle, productive years of their lives, aged between 35 and 64.

The forum would give a concrete platform for growth and awareness through social impact practices and initiatives, which will lead to mass movement and raising consciousness amongst people globally on how to lead a part of wellbeing through preventive health.

WORLD DIABETES & WELLNESS FORUM is pleased to announce its first edition of WORLD DIABETES & WELLNESS FORUM 2023 (WDWF 2023) scheduled on 14th -15th October 2023, New Delhi, India.
