Understanding how healthcare systems approach diabetes management worldwide is key to driving scientific progress. OneGuild, also known as the Peter Sheehan Diabetes Care Foundation (PSDCF) led a groundbreaking U.S.-Cuba Scientific Exchange, bringing together highly respected American and Cuban clinicians and researchers to foster collaboration, share medical insights, and explore innovative strategies in diabetes care.
Through high-level discussions, hospital visits in both urban and rural settings, and direct engagement with national healthcare institutions, this exchange created a platform for meaningful dialogue on type 1 and type 2 diabetes, complications management, and public health approaches.
By connecting leading experts, this initiative laid the foundation for continued scientific exchange, shared research, and the potential integration of novel medical approaches, technologies, and studies that advance diabetes prevention and treatment across borders.
