Application/Key learning points: This campaign aimed to raise awareness of diabetes, while helping those at risk avoid it, and offering better health management advice to diabetics. It can be emulated as a best practice by corporations and other business or government entities. QDA, a member of Qatar Foundation (QF), hosted this “Action on Diabetes: Workplace Screening Campaign” for the QF community. To enable more people to take diabetes screening tests, the campaign brought the test to people’s workplaces and other areas frequented by the public. A screening truck was also placed outside QF headquarters, making it possible for every employee and visitor to get screened. Action on Diabetes is a public-private partnership between six related organisations including QDA and Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health.
