Additionally, the campaign emphasizes the importance of preventing diabetes through lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and undergoing regular screenings, aiming to reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

The "Access to Diabetes Care" campaign aims to educate the community, encourage early detection and effective management of diabetes, and position Thumbay Hospital, Fujairah as a leader in diabetes care.
