Diabetes is India’s leading cause of non-traumatic amputations. Every year, 45,000 legs are lost to diabetic foot complications—most preventable with timely care.

The Challenge

• 77M adults in India live with type 2 diabetes
• 15–20% will develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime
• Over 50% of ulcers get infected; 20% lead to amputation
• Mortality after amputation is as high as certain cancers
