Claudia Martínez joins panel at 4th Symposium on Diabetes in Humanitarian Crises

DATE

FORMAT

In-person

Hosted by the International Alliance for Diabetes Action (IADA), the 4th Symposium on Diabetes in Humanitarian Crises provides a platform for global health experts to exchange ideas and strategies for improving diabetes care in humanitarian settings. Moreover, it aims to strengthen the dialogue among organisations involved in diabetes care in humanitarian crises with identification, agreement, and commitment around areas of collaborative work. The symposium also includes a review of progress and updates made to the IADA strategic work plan for the years 2023-2025.

The Access to Medicine Foundation's Head of Research, Claudia Martínez, has been invited to attend the symposium and serve as a panellist during the session titled, “Beyond human insulin in a vial- what do we want for humanitarian settings." During the session, Claudia will discuss the current landscape of insulin access initiatives implemented by some of the largest insulin manufacturing companies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), delving into the breadth and depth of such initiatives. Specifically, she will analyse the pricing and inclusion of analogues and pens in these access initiatives, emphasising their role in promoting equitable access for people living with diabetes. Additionally, Claudia will highlight recommendations for future action.

In her contributions, Claudia will draw from the Foundation’s work, incorporating findings and recommendations from the Access to Medicine Index and a 2022 report published by the Foundation’s Diabetes Care Programme. Furthermore, she will share insights from a recent Amsterdam Session on diabetes care, held by the Foundation in April 2024.
