World Diabetes Day: Access to insulin remains a challenge in many African countries

Description

November 14 is World Diabetes Day. The disease affects over 400 million people globally. In Africa, three quarters of people with diabetes don't even know they have it. Also, Cameroon's President Paul Biya announces a special status for English-speaking regions, in an effort to appease the three-year Anglophone separatist conflict that's left thousands dead and displaced. And finally, the world's first opera in Pidgin English debuts in Nigeria. Its creator says she wants more Nigerians to enjoy the musical genre.

  • Americans Who Need Insulin To Stay Alive Are Paying The Most In The World For It

    Diabetics who require insulin are at the mercy of the free market and whatever health insurance they may have, or discounts they can snag. Now, UPI reports diabetics in the United States are, compared to their counterparts abroad, well and truly over a barrel. According to a RAND Corp. analysis, insulin in the US costs more than eight times higher than in 32 other high-income nations combined. The average price per unit across all types of insulin in the US is $98.70, which is just over six times the drug's average price in Canada -- about $15.70. Researchers said it's also just under six times the average price in Britain and Japan -- about $16.70. Even if rebates and discounts drive the prices down for US consumers, they're still likely to pay four times the average paid in other high-income nations.
