Known as the silent epidemic, diabetes affects millions of people around the world. An alarming 40% of the Middle Eastern population suffers from diabetes. PlacidWay, an international medical resource and provider, supports global initiatives to educate and provide medical and alternative medicine solutions to diabetics around the globe.

“Every year, over three million people die from a diabetes related death," states Pramod Goel, CEO of PlacidWay.
