DiabCure 3.0 - Phase 3

By -
    The third and the final phase of the project DiabCure 3.0 focused on those who are already victims of diabetes and on providing a cure for them, addressing an issue they were already facing due to the lack of medical equipment required to carry the insulin provided to them on a daily routine. For this, two hospitals were chosen: Divisional Hospital Katugahahena, and District Hospital Mathugama.

    These hospitals were provided with the insulin carriers on the 28th of April 2021. According to the information given by the doctors and the staff, the patients undergo a lot of trouble having to carry the insulin given to them due to the prevailing scarcity of this supporting equipment. Although being unable to distribute the insulin carries directly to the patients, with the series of unfortunate events related to the spreading of COVID-19 virus, the equipment were successfully handed over to the doctors in charge of the patients at both of the selected hospitals to be distributed to the patients in due course, keeping up with the safety regulations and guidelines. The insulin carriers to be distributed to the patients of Katugahahena Divisional Hospital and Mathugama District Hospital were handed over to Dr. Ranjith Dissanayaka and Dr. Malithi Wadisinghe respectively.

    Upon distribution of the insulin carriers to help cure diabetes in these two selected communities, the third and final phase of project DiabCure 3.0 was successfully completed marking the end of the whole project reaching its objective to prevent diabetes.

          Diyani 8.0 - Her Well (First Phase ) ~Access to basic sanitation should be a basic right, not a privilege~ Sanitation and hygiene practices are crucial for maintaining health and well-being, yet many people, particularly women, face significant barriers in accessing proper education and resources. Menstruation remains a taboo in many cultures, viewed as shameful or impure due to cultural and religious norms. This stigma prevents open discussions and limits access to information and resources. As the world observes International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024 with the theme "Period Friendly World," the question remains: Are we ready to talk openly about periods?
