JAMMU, Nov 5: Cementing its commitment towards managing Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) among children in India, Novo Nordisk Education Foundation (NNEF) – a non-government organization established by Novo Nordisk India- added one more Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Jammu at Super Speciality Hospital Jammu.
NNEF has been supporting sustainable care for people living with T1D through Centres of Excellence in close partnership with state governments and prestigious medical colleges.
