APSA International (Association Pour la Promotion de la Santé) was founded in 1988 as a non-profit organization and registered under Reg No: 2891. For over 35 years, APSA has been actively engaged in both medical and social initiatives. Since 1991, however, it has focused particularly on combating Type 2 Diabetes, directly contributing to the well-being of thousands of Mauritians.

In 2010, APSA opened its headquarters in Trianon, under the name ‘APSA Diabetes Care Centre.’ The centre provides a comprehensive approach to patient care and management, serving as a ‘one-stop shop’ offering a range of services for individuals with diabetes or those at risk. These services include one-on-one consultations with health professionals, foot-care treatments, neuro-rehabilitation programs, nutrition workshops, and group instructional sessions. In 2019, APSA expanded by opening a branch in Black River, on the west side of the island, to offer screening and follow-up services to the local community. 

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

• To prevent the onset of diabetes and cardiovascular disease through the early detection of risk factors. 
• To help individuals with diabetes improve their quality of life and prevent complications caused by poorly managed diabetes. 
• To provide a comprehensive care approach for people living with diabetes. 

Dear Partners,

At APSA, we have been dedicated for the past 35 years to improving the lives of those affected by diabetes, offering not just medical care, but hope and support to both patients and their families. Our commitment to delivering high-quality services has allowed us to touch the lives of thousands of individuals, helping them manage their condition and enhance their quality of life. 

In the past year, we have continued to expand our services at the APSA Diabetes Care Centre, providing essential programs like Foot Care Clinics, educational workshops, nutritional guidance, retinopathy screenings, cardisiography and ABPI. We remain focused on addressing the unique needs of each patient, working closely with both individuals and their families to ensure effective care. 

Our efforts extend beyond our clinic’s walls. In 2019, APSA collaborated with the World Health Organization (WHO) and several local NGOs to support vulnerable communities through the opening of a new branch in Black River, offering proximity services to one of the island’s most at-risk populations. 

We are proud of our work and deeply grateful for the support of our partners, sponsors, and the dedicated APSA team. Together, we can continue making a meaningful difference in the fight against diabetes. 

We invite both corporate partners and individuals to join us in this important mission. Together, we can help more people manage their diabetes effectively, improve their well-being, and create a healthier future for all. 

Thank you for your continued support. 

APSA in the fight against diabetes!
