Australia’s leading healthcare company Sanofi has announced its program of cooperation with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the Society of Endocrinology - Diabetes Vietnam (VADE) to control diabetes in Vietnam.

The announcement was made at a seminar in Melbourne on December 1.

Accordingly, 1,500 Vietnamese doctors will be trained for 3 years in an international training program called iSTEP – D. The program, designed by the ADA and VADE, aims to equip Vietnamese doctors with advanced medical knowledge and practical skills.

Sanofi’s Senior Vice President Pierre Chancel said that the program shows the company’s strong commitment to helping diabetic people in emerging economies, including Vietnam.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thy Khue, Chairman of the Vietnam Diabetes and Endocrinology Association, said Vietnam has more than 5 million diabetic sufferers but only 1 million have been detected and treated.
