BEIJING and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Feb. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

    Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Gan & Lee) 
(SANGHAI: 603087.SH), a global biopharmaceutical company, has announced a 
collaborative partnership with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) that 
aims to support their global efforts of promoting diabetes care and prevention 
worldwide. This collaboration will allow opportunities to support future 
initiatives such as medical education through the IDF School of Diabetes as 
well as becoming inaugural partners in the launch of the IDF WeChat platform in 
China. This partnership will also provide the opportunity to participate in 
advocacy initiatives such as World Diabetes Day and the Centenary of Insulin. 
“Gan & Lee’s collaboration with IDF will provide an opportunity to support 
global outreach and advocacy initiatives to help improve the lives of people 
affected by diabetes”, said Kai Du, CEO of Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals, Chairman 
of Gan & Lee USA Corporation. 

    Diabetes care is multidimensional due to complex interactions between 
environmental, lifestyle, clinical, and genetic factors. These unique 
complications, along with access to continuing care, education, and medication, 
strongly influence the clinical course.  According to the latest edition of the 
IDF Diabetes Atlas, approximately 463 million adults (20-79 years) were living 
with diabetes in 2019 and this number is expected to rise to 700 million by 
2045. Additionally, 1 in 2 people with diabetes in 2019 were undiagnosed1. Gan 
& Lee understands the importance of supporting online educational resources and 
advocacy initiatives for people affected by diabetes. “The International 
Diabetes Federation is delighted to welcome Gan & Lee as a partner to support 
our global awareness, advocacy and education initiatives. In a year that marks 
the centenary of the discovery of insulin, coordinated and collaborative action 
to ensure affordable and uninterrupted care and education for every person 
living with diabetes, regardless of where they live or their economic 
circumstances, is more important than ever.” said Prof. Andrew Boulton, 
President, International Diabetes Federation.
