As 7% of the adult Haitian population is affected — and half of them are unaware — health actors emphasize the urgency of screening and prevention. In Haiti, protecting oneself from diabetes also becomes an act of resistance, a vital gesture to regain control over one’s health in an environment that constantly threatens it.
