WDD 2009 attracts global coverage

Posted on 16 November 2009

As we collect the results of the media outreach for World diabetes 2009, it is clear that the campaign can claim a global success in terms of media exposure. The tremendous commitment displayed by IDF member associations and countless other organizations and individuals to secure recognition of the day seem to have paid dividends.

We hope to collect and share the success with you.

Please help by sending any radio, TV, print and online coverage that you can collect to media@idf.org.
