EXCEMED launched its first CME Tour of Africa in 2013 to enhance local awareness and capability in diabetes and chronic disease management. Diabetes and related conditions are a growing problem on the African continent, alongside changes in diet and lifestyle.
The tour was repeated in 2014, engaging three African universities and many local scientific societies, reaching over 400 general practitioners, medical students and pharmacists. The workshops were tailored to local needs and present evidence-based data and novel diabetes management approaches through interactive clinical case studies.
EXCEMED’s 2014 CME Tour of Africa was run in partnership with diabetes expert Dr. Jonathan Levy from the Oxford Centre of Diabetes, Churchill Hospital, Oxford, UK and touched down in Angola, Ghana Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania and Uganda.
Subsequent online learning opportunities and takeaway messages will be available on a free educational platform, www.managediabetesonline.org. This has been developed by EXCEMED so that professionals unable to attend the live CME Tour of Africa can still benefit from its valuable educational events.
