This is to formally inform and also invite you to
participate in the forthcoming STRATEGIES FOR
IMPROVING DIABETES CARE IN NIGERIA
(SIDCAIN) 2016 annual scientific conference and
distinguished personality lecture holding in
Osogbo from March 2-4, 2016.
The strategies for improving diabetes care in
Nigeria initiative was construed about 9 years ago
with the major objective of curbing the rising
diabetes pandemic in the country through
translational research. The core team comprises
researchers in the field of diabetes and
hypertension spread across the major tertiary
health facilities in the South Western States of
Nigeria. The SIDCAIN research group has
successfully completed World Diabetes
Foundation assisted projects in Ogun and Oyo
States, while that of Osun State is ongoing.
In Ogun and Oyo States, a total of 56 non-
communicable disease clinics have been
established and 1180 health workers have already
been trained to man these clinics where projects
have been completed.
Over the years, our activities have expanded to
include public awareness programmes,
establishment of school health clubs and the
Journalists Action Against Diabetes Programme
amongst others. We also hold the annual non-
communicable disease conference and
distinguished personalities lectures. Previous
events have held in Ibadan, Osogbo and Sagamu
whilst personalities such as Are Afe Babalola,
Prof. John Idoko (NACA), Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo and Mr Dele Momodu have given the
lectures.
The 2016 event will hold at the Main Auditorium
of the Osun State University. The event, as with
previous ones will attract participants from all
over the country as well as overseas. All
abstracts must be received by Friday February 19,
2016. Submission is strictly by email to
