The Dominica Diabetes Association (DOMDA) concluded an exceptionally productive Diabetes Awareness Month in November 2025, according to Public Relations Officer Richie Ferrol. The organization implemented a comprehensive series of initiatives designed to elevate public consciousness about diabetes prevention and management while promoting healthier lifestyles across the Caribbean nation.
DOMDA’s month-long campaign featured strategically coordinated activities outlined in a specially created November Calendar of Events, which was disseminated through the association’s official communication channels. The programming combined educational components with practical health interventions, creating multiple touchpoints for community engagement.
A highlight of the awareness drive was the official launch of DOMDA’s press campaign commemorating World Diabetes Day, which reinforced the organization’s longstanding commitment to advocacy, education, and support services for individuals living with diabetes. The campaign emphasized the importance of early detection through regular screening and promoted sustainable lifestyle modifications as crucial preventive measures.
The association’s ‘Go 10,000 Steps Challenge – Stay Fit, Stay Healthy’ initiative encouraged both individuals and families to incorporate consistent physical activity into their daily routines. This program specifically addressed exercise as a fundamental strategy for both diabetes prevention and management.
Throughout November, DOMDA executed extensive outreach programs and media campaigns that disseminated vital information about diabetes risk factors, healthy nutrition practices, and the critical importance of community support systems for those affected by the condition.
Ferrol expressed profound gratitude to DOMDA’s network of partners, dedicated volunteers, and the general public for their enthusiastic participation. The organization pledged to maintain the positive momentum generated during the 2025 awareness month, reaffirming its commitment to continued advocacy and expanded support services throughout Dominica.
