Diabetes
The first World Health Organization global report on diabetes found that the number of adults living with diabetes almost quadrupled to 422 million adults from 1980 to 2014. Low and middle income countries were the hardest hit with this disease and other NCDs. The George Institute addresses diabetes by looking at contributing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and kidney disease, plus the rise of obesity.
