摘要
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing globally, particularly in the developing world. The diabetic foot is one of the most devastating chronic complications of diabetes. The Step-by-Step project was initiated in India, with participation from neighboring countries and Tanzania, to improve diabetes foot care in the developing world. The goal was to train health care professionals in basic foot care, improve their educational skills, and encourage them to set up minimum model diabetic foot clinics.
