Since 2015, the ACCISS Study has aimed to address the barriers to access to insulin that impede optimal care for people with diabetes. Over the past seven years, we have built up an evidence base of knowledge and tools that can help to improve access to treatment and care, both globally and at the national level. Working with our partners in Kyrgyzstan, Peru, Mali and Tanzania since 2018 we have put into practice some of the tools to further our knowledge base.
