PREVENTION FIRST is the moto of PRIMARY CARE DIABETES ASSOCIATION PAKISTAN (PCDA).
PCDA is the largest diabetes association of Pakistan working for the primary health care professionals of the country.
The main objective of PCDA-PAKISTAN is to update and upgrade the knowledge and skills of the health care professionals practicing round the country.  The objective is to provide the people with diabetes a quality care according to the latest standards of care, so that complications of diabetes can be prevented to occur.
Also to produce awareness among the common people about diabetes and the risk factors associated with it, PCDA regularly arranges awareness and screening camps throughout Pakistan. From these camps real life data about the prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes, is collected. This will help in building an authentic and reliable database. This can help reduce the fastly increasing prevalence of diabetes in Pakistan (33% according to International Diabetes Federation).
