Improving Lives Through Comprehensive Diabetic Care

In rural regions of Honduras, diabetes is a widespread yet underserved health crisis. Many patients in remote communities face severe barriers to care, where access to diagnostic testing and medication is limited or non-existent. Left unmanaged, diabetes leads to debilitating and preventable complications—including heart disease, kidney failure, vision loss, and limb amputations. At CHHF, we are committed to changing this narrative by taking a major step forward to expand and elevate our chronic care services.

To address this urgent need, we are proud to launch a new, robust diabetic care initiative led by four of our dedicated team leader doctors. This project takes a two-pronged approach to creating sustainable change: two doctors are heading the development of an updated, modernized A1C testing protocol to deliver accurate, long-term glucose monitoring in our clinics, while the other two are leading a specialized pilot study providing reliable insulin access and routine blood glucose monitoring directly to 25 high-risk patients. This initiative expands life-saving diabetes management across the communities we serve.

Managing diabetes requires ongoing resources: from diagnostic supplies and test strips to temperature-regulated insulin, making it one of the most expensive conditions to treat in resource-limited settings. Your generosity can directly fund testing supplies and life-saving medication for a patient in desperate need.
