Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh, a renowned diabetologist and life patron of the Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI), will serve as the chief guest at the 52nd Annual RSSDI Conference. This international gathering, set to take place from November 14 to 17, 2024, at Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, New Delhi, is one of the world’s largest forums for diabetes specialists, drawing experts, researchers, and practitioners from India and across the globe.

RSSDI President Dr. B.M. Makkar recently confirmed Dr. Jitendra Singh’s participation, marking the Union Minister’s continuous dedication to healthcare and diabetes research. This event is of particular significance for Dr. Singh, as he previously served as the Scientific Chairman of the RSSDI Conference when it was last held in Delhi in 2013.

Gathering of International Diabetes Experts and an Expansive Program

This year’s conference anticipates over 20,000 participants, featuring 27 internationally recognized faculty members who will share insights from diverse fields such as diabetes research, clinical care, and public health strategies. Attendees can expect a well-rounded program of keynote lectures, plenary sessions, interactive workshops, research presentations, and poster exhibitions. These sessions will address the latest advancements in diabetes management, therapeutic approaches, and the prevention of diabetes-related complications.

The conference’s educational value is underscored by contributions from global leaders in diabetes care, whose expertise will enrich discussions and promote innovation. Their participation strengthens the RSSDI’s mission to enhance diabetes care through the exchange of knowledge and international cooperation, ultimately advancing the fight against diabetes in India and beyond.

Thousands of attendees will also participate in an oath-taking ceremony, emphasizing collective dedication to better diabetes management and awareness.

A key event will be the unveiling of a comprehensive white paper on diabetes care and research in India.
