APSA International (Association Pour la Promotion de la Santé) was established in 1988 as a non-profit organisation and registered under Reg No: 2891. For the past 25 years, APSA has been constantly active in both medical and social spheres. But since 1991, it has been particularly involved in the fight against Type 2 Diabetes, and, since that time, has been able to contribute directly to the well-being of thousands of Mauritians.

In 2010, APSA opened its head office in Trianon, under the name of ‘APSA Diabetes Care Centre’. It offers a comprehensive approach in patient care and management. The centre is a ‘one-stop shop’ and offers a variety of services to people suffering from diabetes and to those who are at risk, including individual appointments with health professionals, foot-care treatment, neuro-rehabilitation programs, nutrition workshops, and instructional group sessions. In 2019, APSA opened up a branch in the west of the Island, in Black River, to provide a screening and follow-up service to locals.

APSA International has also extended its expertise into neighbouring countries and has even opened up a branch in Botswana.

• To prevent the on-set of diabetes and cardio-vascular disease by early detection of the risk factors.
• To help those suffering from diabetes to achieve a better quality of life and to prevent complications caused by inadequately controlled diabetes.
• To provide a comprehensive care approach for people suffering from diabetes.

Dear Partners,

For over 25 years, APSA has succeeded in providing a quality service to thousands of people suffering from diabetes, while bringing hope and a smile to patients and their families.

This past year has been no different. We have continued to offer quality services at the APSA Diabetes Care Centre, such as the Foot Care Clinic, education group sessions and the nutritional workshops. Each year, the team makes every effort to meet the needs of patients and their loved ones.

Last year, APSA worked in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other various local NGOs to meet the needs of the Black River population and its surrounding regions. APSA even opened a new branch in the area to offer a local service of proximity to one of the most vulnerable population areas of the island.

I wish to offer my heartfelt thanks to all those who have been part of these achievements in one way or another. Thank you dear partners, sponsors, the board of directors, and the entire APSA Diabetes Care Centre team.

APSA in the fight against diabetes!
