Malleswaram Diabetes & Nephro Prevention Trust and HDR Summit
Our mission, history and commitment to combating Diabetes, Hypertension and Renal Disease.
Malleswaram Diabetes & Nephro Prevention Trust
The Trust was started in November 2015 with the aim of spreading awareness of diabetes and its complications.
Diabetes is increasing rapidly across the country. Left unaddressed, this leads to complications with rising morbidity and mortality.
The Trust works to change this through education, screening camps, physician training and academic conferences.
