The Nominating Committee and the Board of D-Foot International elected Professor Andrew Boulton as an Honorary Member of D-Foot International.
This well-deserved nomination stems from his considerable contribution to the fight against the diabetic foot. His overall achievements for the past four decades have been well recognised both nationally and internationally.
Life in the Brazilian Amazon region is tough: rivers instead of roads, few qualified healthcare professionals and disorganised public service. More than half of the estimated 280,000 people with diabetes have foot problems.
During my academic training, I witnessed in the emergency room how a woman with diabetes cried together with the doctors at the news of an above-knee amputation. That episode made me become passionate for diabetic foot.
Whether we are working in our clinics or driving home after a long day at work, it is a little comforting to know that we are not alone in facing the current health crisis.
