Diabetes is an urgent public health challenge shared by the UK and the Gulf countries. A commercial organisation in Qatar is now working with UK health organisations to scope and roll out the prevention programme in Qatar.
The diabetes programme takes an existing UK capability and makes the learning from it available overseas.
