After careful consideration by the UN
Interagency Task Force on prevention of
noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and
in recognition of the continuous efforts
of the Dasman Diabetes Institute – one
of the centers of the Kuwait Foundation
for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS)
– it has been selected to receive the
prestigious international award for 2021.
This award is the result of months of tireless work with the Ministry of Health
to develop a national diabetes registry, as
well as the Institute’s remarkable
contributions to the prevention and
treatment of diabetes and its related
complications, as well as obesity.
The announcement of the Institute’s
winning of this important award, is an
addition to the rich balance of honors,
awards and achievements that it has accomplished, was made recently during
the meeting of the working groups on the
occasion of the convening of the United
Nations General Assembly.
من جانبه، أعرب الدكتور قيس الدويري، المدير العام لمعهد دسمان للسكري، عن فخره لفوز المعهد بهذه الجائزة، قائلاً: “هذه الجائزة هي وسام دولي آخر يحرزه المعهد، وهذه الجائزة تحثنا على أن نطمح ونسعى إلى بذل المزيد؛ لأن نبذل قصارى جهدنا وكل ما لدينا من طاقة وخبرات لإحراز مزيد من التقدم في المجالات الطبية والبحثية والتوعوية لما يحقق النفع لوطننا الحبيب”.
وأضاف الدكتور الدويري “أغتنم هذه الفرصة لأعبر عن جزيل امتناننا لمنظمة الصحة العالمية لثقتهم في المعهد ولشراكتهم معنا، وكذلك جزيل الشكر للدكتور خالد الفاضل، المدير العام لمؤسسة الكويت للتقدم العلمي وأعضاء مجلس إدارتها على دعم المؤسسة والتمويل المستمر الذي تقدمه للمعهد منذ تأسيسه وحتى اليوم، وللدعم الذي تقدمه المؤسسة لدفع عجلة العلم والبحث والتطوير”.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that
the Institute has made great progress,
especially in the field of research and the
publication of a large number of studies
in prestigious international journals and
in cooperation with leading institutions
in the world, where the Institute pays
most of its attention to scientific
research, but this goes hand in hand with
the services it provides, such as treatment
in various specialties of complications of
diabetes, awareness and training at an
advanced and integrated level.
