The 25th Al-Bawasil Children with Diabetes Camp, organised by Qatar Diabetes Centre (QDA), a member of Qatar Foundation, was concluded recently.The closing ceremony included a video presentation of the activities held during the camp, followed by a children's theatre performance. The delegations then presented traditional performances from their countries, and commemorative shields were exchanged.The camp, which aims to empower children with diabetes, lasted for six days. This year, 60 children aged seven to eleven from 13 countries participated, including Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Iran, Morocco, Egypt, Oman, and Algeria.Dr Abdulla al-Hamaq, executive director, QDA , stated: "Through our experience over the past 25 years in organising diabetes camps, we have observed how these camps boost the confidence of children and their parents, developing self-care skills. The camp included educational workshops on diabetes management, nutrition, oral health, and sports activities. These were interactive, allowing children to exchange experiences and enjoy entertainment while receiving gifts.""We have achieved our goal of equipping the children with the necessary skills to learn the best ways to manage their diabetes, enabling them to apply the necessary steps and methods to deal with daily fluctuations in blood sugar levels and make appropriate decisions while maintaining the healthy lifestyle they were trained in during the camp week," Dr al-Hamaq added.
