Why now

Every 20 seconds, someone in the world loses a leg to diabetes.

Most begin with a small wound nobody noticed. Diabetic nerve damage takes away feeling in the feet, so problems grow silently — without pain or warning. Prevention starts at the feet, and it has to start early.

  • 21.1%

    of Malaysian adults live with diabetes, and the risk rises with age.

  • 2 in 5

    adults with diabetes don't know they have it.

  • ~50%

    of people with diabetes develop nerve damage (neuropathy).

Why feet come first

Southeast Asia is ageing fast

Malaysia is building a new standard of senior care, and foot health is the foundation of mobility and independence.

The danger can't be felt

Without feeling, small wounds go unnoticed and can turn into ulcers, infection and amputation.

An early signal for the whole body

A daily foot check is the easiest early signal of diabetic health — and a gateway to preventing kidney, eye and heart complications.

The partnership

Two pioneers. One mission.

No senior should lose a limb to a preventable wound.
