Curative Role of TDC

In 2025, The Diabetes Centre (TDC) provided large-scale curative diabetes care across its hospitals in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, and Sahiwal, supported by satellite clinics and community outreach. Across the network, laboratories conducted more than 141,000 diagnostic tests, enabling timely diagnosis, disease monitoring, and treatment planning through a standards-compliant diagnostic system.

TDC’s multidisciplinary clinical services supported patients with uncontrolled diabetes, diabetic foot complications, eye disease, obesity, and metabolic disorders. Despite 88% of patients presenting with uncontrolled diabetes at first contact, continued follow-up, specialist consultation, medicines, insulin support, nutrition care, ophthalmology services, podiatry, orthotics, and laboratory monitoring helped improve disease control and reduce clinical risk.

Ophthalmology services also played a key curative role, with more than 11,500 visual screenings, 3,800 fundoscopic examinations, advanced imaging, laser treatments, and the introduction of cataract surgery in late 2025 to treat and reduce diabetes-related vision loss. Equity remained central to treatment access, with 20,254 financially vulnerable patients receiving free medicines, including insulin for individuals with Type 1 diabetes.
