Message on World Diabetes Day
世界糖尿病日致辞
14 November 2020
2020年11月14日
Many efforts have been made to prevent and treat diabetes. Yet the number of people with diabetes is going up. What's more, it is rising most rapidly in low- and middle-income countries, the countries least well-equipped with the diagnostics, medicines, and knowledge to provide life-saving treatment.
人们在预防和治疗糖尿病方面做了很多努力。但糖尿病患者人数仍不断增加。而且低收入和中等收入国家的患者人数增速最快，这些国家在诊断、药物和救命治疗知识方面的能力最差。
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought additional pain. Many people who require regular care and treatment for their diabetes have struggled to access that care. And people with diabetes are at increased risk of severe disease and death from COVID-19.
COVID-19大流行病疫情带来更大的痛苦。许多需要定期医护治疗的糖尿病人难以获得医疗护理。糖尿病患者面临更大的病重和死于冠状病毒病的风险。
Next year, the World Health Organization will launch the Global Diabetes Compact, a new initiative that will bring structure and coherence to our complementary efforts to reduce the burden of diabetes.
明年，世界卫生组织将启动全球糖尿病契约，这个新倡议将使我们为减轻糖尿病负担所作的各项努力相得益彰，井然有序，协调一致。
Let us work together to make sure that, through this ambitious and much-needed collaboration, we will soon be talking about the decline in diabetes as a public health problem. And as we strive to overcome the pandemic, let us do our utmost to ensure Universal Health Coverage, strengthen health systems and advance good health and resilience for all.
让我们齐心协力，通过大力开展迫切需要的合作，确保不久后就能针对这个公共卫生问题展开讨论，探索如何降低糖尿病发生率。让我们在努力抗疫的同时，全力确保全民健康覆盖，加强卫生系统，增进全民健康和复原力。
