On 15 November 2024, Lipjan Municipality hosted at National Park Blinaja an impactful event to mark World Diabetes Day. This event brought together 25 elderly patients, including members from the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities, and Patient Council representatives, for a day of learning and connection.
Highlights included a lecture on diabetes management by a National Institute of Public Health doctor, and engaging discussions where participants shared personal experiences. This event fostered social interaction and boosted morale, with many expressing gratitude for the inclusive and enriching atmosphere.
For the first time, MFMC Lipjan funded promotional materials, thus signalling their growing commitment to health promotion. The event underscored the power of partnerships in addressing health challenges while building community.
Plans are underway to expand these initiatives, ensuring continued education and inclusivity.
