Reducing diabetic related amputations
Did you know that Ireland is currently one of the top spenders in the world on complications related to diabetes? It is estimated that between eight and 10 per cent of our overall healthcare expenditure is spent on diabetic complications such as hospitalisation, surgical interventions and long-term wound dressings, etc. Even more concerning is that while other EU countries are successfully reducing the number of diabetes-related amputations by introducing hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT), Ireland isn't keeping pace.
