Organisation

The non profit, non governmental Institute on Diabetes and Obesity (IDO) has been formed aiming to address all the dramatically emerging issues by focusing on the most important issue of public health and people's awareness. Scientists who are actively involved in the treatment of diabetes and obesity need to expand their actions beyond the small groups of patients they come across in every day practice and to address the society with a solid and sound message for action. A joint effort for up-to-date education of as many health care professionals as possible is the first step for a widespread call to the public in order to confront this global epidemic.
