There is increasing awareness that diabetes is a growing public health threat in Liberia. The high mortality and morbidity associated with diabetes have significant implications for individuals, families and communities. The current response to diabetes in Liberia is limited to the management of acute complications. Long-term strategies for the prevention and control of diabetes are almost entirely absent from national health agendas. This brief provides policy options that Liberian policymakers can adopt to prevent diabetes, improve treatment and enhance the quality of life for people living with diabetes in Liberia.
