Welcome to the course
Welcome to the Control of Diabetic Retinopathy course. I am Dr Nyawira Mwangi, and we have developed this course together with other educators and technical experts. Over the course, you get a chance to examine many concepts associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) services. Begin by watching the short video below. As you watch, reflect on the following:
Do you believe DR is an important problem? Why or why not?
What are some of your learning needs regarding DR?
What is the potential for improvement of DR services in your setting?
