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 seprate
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
Dr. Nazia Aqeel
Vice President
