\"\"Sant\u00e9 Diab\u00e8te will hold a conference of French-speaking experts in Grenoble on December 13 and 14, 2021, under the sponsorship of Mr. Olivier V\u00e9ran<\/strong>, Minister of Solidarity and Health.<\/p>\n

This conference will bring together more than 50 partners of Sant\u00e9 Diab\u00e8te from 7 French-speaking countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Union of the Comoros, Canada, France, Luxembourg and Switzerland) involved in the fight against diabetes: institutional partners, health professionals, researchers, patient associations, civil society structures and technical and financial partners.<\/p>\n

The objective of this conference is to provide a space to address in depth the critical issues to the fight against diabetes and more broadly to strengthening health systems. It will allow us to question our practices, to combine different perspectives, points of view and experiences, the only way to move forward together to build the health and social protection systems that we want for tomorrow. Sant\u00e9 Diab\u00e8te has been willing to hold this conference on these essential questions to conclude a year 2021, which has been, for many reasons, pivotal. Both for global health, in the midst of the COVID-19 epidemic, for the fight against diabetes, since it is the centenary year of the discovery of insulin in 1921 at the University of Toronto, which led to the adoption of a landmark resolution in May 2021 at the World Health Assembly; and pivotal in the development of our NGO's programs.<\/p>\n

The conference will be opened by Mr. \u00c9ric Piolle<\/strong>, the mayor of the city of Grenoble, alongside Mr St\u00e9phane Besan\u00e7on<\/strong>, director general of Sant\u00e9 Diab\u00e8te. The opening will continue with the speeches of Ms. St\u00e9phanie Seydoux<\/strong>, Ambassador for Global Health of France , Mr. Michel Sidib\u00e9<\/strong>, former Director of UNAIDS, former Minister of Health of Mali, and current Ambassador of the African Union for the creation of an African Medicines Agency, and by Eric Fleutelot<\/strong> , director of the health department, major pandemic division at L'Initiative \/ Expertise France.<\/p>\n

Following this official opening, the program will start with 3 plenary lectures by Mr. Slim Slama<\/strong>, representative of the non-communicable diseases department at the World Health Organization (WHO) who will present the Global Diabetes Compact, Dr. Michel Sidibe<\/strong> who will present the African Medicines Agency and Ms. Elsa Morandat<\/strong> who will present the World Diabetes Foundation.<\/p>\n

The following sessions of the program, which represents the heart of the conference, will be organized with discussion round tables bringing together the various experts present around five fundamental themes in the fight against diabetes:<\/p>\n
