Expert calls for diabetes campaign
Diabetes is harming more people than landmines, a leading expert says.
U Tint Swe Latt of the Myanmar Diabetes Association told The Myanmar Times that most amputations of hands and legs resulted from the disease, and not from the landmines that still litter parts of the country.
Diabetes is widespread in Myanmar, according to the survey performed by the University of Medicine 2 and Department of Diabetes Project.
