    Lecture: World Diabetes Foundation

    We have the pleasure of presenting three speakers from the World Diabetes Foundation (WDF) – an independent, non-profit foundation based in Bagsværd, Denmark, and founded by Novo Nordisk A/S in 2002. The WDF is working to alleviate human suffering related to diabetes and its complications among those least able to withstand the burden of the disease, by being one one of the few funding mechanisms dedicated to preventing and treating diabetes in developing countries.
