In addition to our national partnerships, we also have global initiatives and partnerships.
International Diabetes Federation
By 2030 the number of people with diabetes is set to double to 552 million representing enormous implications for healthcare systems and governments around the world.
To tackle this issue, Bupa is supporting global advocate International Diabetes Federation, to produce a series of globally relevant and system-shaping reports.
Bupa Global Challenge
Bupa Global Challenge 2011 took place in June and encouraged Bupa employees
and our communities to get moving. Over 60,000 people took part in 444 events in 15 countries. From dancing in New Zealand care homes, a walking challenge in Hong Kong to a cycling fund-raiser in Bolivia, participants discovered the health benefits of physical activity and had fun at the same time.
This year Bupa Global Challenge 2012 has even bigger ambitions to help fulfil our Well World commitment. We will work together around the world to get at least 100,000 people walking in September 2012, and encourage a proportion of people to build walking into their everyday lives. Whether it’s rambling or meandering, through fields or round the block, regular walking is an accessible and simple
way to keep well and support a healthy planet.
