Description
Herve Djiofack Kentsop, Christina Zarowsky, and Julia von Oettingen review what blocks type 1 diabetes care for children in Sub-Saharan Africa, in a 2026 scoping review. Over 1.2 million young people live with the disease, most in poor countries. The team searched five databases and grey sources for work from 1990 to 2020, keeping 38 studies from sixteen countries.
Barriers stacked at every level: health system gaps, weak policy, scarce supplies, family poverty, and cultural strain. The review sorts the strategies used against them, from training and task sharing to family support. The authors warn that sixteen countries cannot speak for a whole region.
