• Healthcare Services: Basic diabetes management tools (e.g., insulin, metformin, blood glucose tests) accessible in public facilities. However, physical activity interventions and some diagnostic technologies (e.g., retinal treatment) are limited or unavailable.

Mortality Uncertainty

High uncertainty noted due to reliance on international data for diabetes-specific death counts.
