Three
years ago, we made a promise to ourselves and to the people
of our community that we would evolve our programs and
services and offer life saving treatments that have traditionally
only been offered in tertiary care centers only. Today,
I am honoured to say that we are delivering on this promise.
After four year of dedicated hard work, In January, 2005
we opened our new Diabetes and Dental Care Center projects
of Amen Diabetic Association. With our Diabetes and dental
Care centers up and running, we have now set our sights
on building a Regional Diabetes Centre that will serve
the close to one billion people who live in Karachi. Working
closely with Diabetes Australia, we've set an ambitious
goal to start certificate courses and CME workshops by
late 2005.
Although we have invested much time on the development
of programs that provide advanced level services for people
throughout the Region and beyond, we haven't stopped evolving
the programs that serve our immediate community. Our Emergency
Department will soon be three times its size, and this
is just part of a bigger Redevelopment project that will
make Ameen Diabetic Association comfortable, more hospitable
place for its patients and their families.
With all this change, awareness and communication has
become key. As such, we have designed this web site to
give you and the people we serve quick, up-to-date information
about our programs, services and highly skilled staff.
As always, your questions and feedback are very important
to us,so please feel free to contact us info@diabetes.org.pk
if you have a comment or require additional information.
On behalf of Ameen Diabetic Association its staff, physicians
and volunteers, welcome to our web site.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Amin Begum
President

It is a paradox of our time that just as the concept of
separate diabetes care- centre has become a necessity for
standard treatment of diabetic patients world wide, the
demand for providing basic standard treatment of diabetes
& its complications are not met effectively by concerned
authorities.
The nation that standaraised care for diabetic can bring
about tremendous results stems from the outcomes of the
trials & studies conducted in the developed countries
at the end of the 20th century.
The outcomes of DCCT, UKPDS & ATP III have determined
the goals & standards of effective diabetic control
i.e. F.b.S< , R.B.S < 130 & B.P 110/70 if any
diabetic nephropathy co exists.
I on behalf Ameen Diabetic Association invite all concerned
for joint struggle to save 8 million diabetics of our country
from further blindness, kidney failure(nephropathy), heart
diseases & Limb amputations by improving the standard
diabetic care in Pakistan following the international guide
lines for treatment & prevention of diabetes & its
complications.
May God help us to achieve our goals –Ameen
