Santé Diabète (SD) (Health Diabetes) is a French non-governmental organization (NGOs) whose headquarters is in Grenoble (France) which is working on strengthening health systems to improve the prevention and management of diabetes in Africa. As part of a chronic disease like diabetes, improving the quality of care saves thousands of lives but also improves the quality of life for people living with diabetes.

History

[edit]

The NGO Santé Diabète was created in 2001,[1] by Stephane Besançon current CEO of the organization.

Santé Diabète was created following a research conducted in Mali on the fonio[2] (cereal that is present in West Africa) and diabetes with the International Center for Agronomic Research for Development (CIRAD) which enabled Stephane Besançon to be aware of the impact of diabetes on the African continent but also and especially the lack of access to health care for people living with diabetes in Africa and the lack of consideration of the issue by development actors (sponsors, United Nations, NGOs).[3]

Purpose

[edit]

Santé Diabète has focused on strengthening health systems to improve the prevention and management of diabetes, by supporting the development of long term field projects, of research projects or short-term expertise in many African countries.[4] The NGO focuses its work on a comprehensive approach including all the axes necessary for the establishment of prevention and care of quality for diabetes. This innovative approach is realized in practice by the development of 6 components:[5]

  1. Investing in primary prevention to reduce the human and economic burden of the disease progression.[6]
  2. Investing in the decentralization of care to ensure geographic accessibility to a care of quality.[7]
  3. Investing in secondary and tertiary prevention "therapeutic education" to reduce the burden of complications due to diabetes.[8]
  4. Investing in the reduction of care costs for geographic accessibility to a care of quality.[9][10]
  5. Investing in an integrated approach including active involvement of patients and their families through their associations by promoting self-management mechanisms and advocacy allowing them to defend their rights.[11]
  6. Investing in research - action to develop innovative approaches.[12]
Diabetes consultation

This approach is developed in the field with the institutional partners (public authorities, administrative authorities and local government[13]). This positioning into technical assistance to support prevention policies and treatment of diabetes implemented by the states ensures that the interventions done by the NGO can achieve long-term solutions.[14]

In parallel to these field operations, Santé Diabète support many governments[15] in the development or implementation of their diabetes policy.

More recently, the NGO Santé Diabète has also invested in France in the development of projects in development and international solidarity education.[16]

Diabetes information tools

Santé Diabète has 30 staff (data 2014) which is distributed among the various operational offices:[18] Grenoble (France), Bamako (Mali), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) and Dakar (Senegal).

This team is working under the direction of a voluntary board of 12 members.[19] This board includes people from different backgrounds and different nationalities (officials, doctors, professional of development, humanitarian, researchers, communications professionals, people with diabetes, academics, students, etc.) ensuring orientation of the organization.

Finally, in addition to these organs, Santé Diabète has a scientific advisory board of physicians and scientists of the highest levels from various specialties and different countries:[19]
