india Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc Full time

Overview

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D) is an auto-immune disease characterized by reduced ability to produce insulin in the body. T1D usually develops in children, adolescents, or young adults, leading to a lifetime dependence on insulin for survival. The condition is associated with a significant strain and poor quality of life, and leading to a high financial burden, for people living with Type 1 Diabetes (PLT1D) and their families. However, with access to timely diagnostic, initiation on treatment and proper management of the condition, people living with T1D can lead healthy and productive lives, while achieving life expectancy comparable to the general population.

There are an estimated 9.4 million PLT1D globally, with India having the second highest share accounting for 8%-10% of the global prevalence. However, nearly 18% of children and adolescents with T1D (~0.3 million) live in India, the highest in the world. The incidence of T1D in the 0-19 age group is increasing more than any other age group. The estimated global incidence of T1D in 0-19 age group was 8.15 per 100,000 in 2024 and is estimated to increase to 13.95 per 100,000 by 2040.

While the burden of T1D has continued to rise over the years, survival has remained poor. Survival rates for children and adolescents with T1D in India is worse compared to countries with similar socio-economic development. On average, a child diagnosed with T1D at the age of 10 years lives only an additional 29 years of healthy life, contributing to premature mortality and loss of productivity.

There is an urgent need to strengthen access to services and care for Type 1 Diabetes. WJCF’s Type 1 Diabetes program aims at strengthening and improving access to quality T1D care in India, with the overall goal of achieving longer, healthier, and more productive lives for People Living with Type 1 Diabetes (PLT1D). The program aims to address critical barriers to access and delivery of quality T1D care in India by building awareness, improving access to detection, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up services and care, enabling treatment adherence and self-management, and strengthening governance and policy framework for delivery of T1D care.
