What is the Belize Diabetes Association?
The Belize Diabetes Association, a non-government, non-profit entity has vested itself with the responsibility of providing support for persons living with Diabetes, as well as educating the public at large on how to prevent the unset of this disease. The association is a firm believer that when it comes to Diabetes, prevention is better than cure, thus advocates a healthy life-style. The Belize Diabetes Association was formed in 1990 by a group of professionals and other persons concerned about diabetes and its complications. The Association membership consists of volunteers who dedicate their time to educating the public and bringing about awareness on the impact of diabetes and its complications. The Association is governed by a constitution. The executive council is elected every three years from within its membership.
