The Western Pacific Declaration on Diabetes (WPDD) was formed out of a series of regional consultations spearheaded by the founding partners, International Diabetes Federation /Western Pacific Region (IDF/WPR) and World Health Organization /Western Pacific Regional Office (WHO/WPRO), in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC).

This strategic alliance creates a regional movement which addresses the crippling and ever increasing burden of diabetes among the peoples of the Western Pacific Region.

The WPDD targets the governments of all countries and areas in the WPR, international and regional agencies, professional diabetes and related organizations, public health practitioners, planners, funders, clinical health professionals, business and industry to take action to stem the increasing incidence of diabetes and to prevent or reduce complications in those already diagnosed.
