from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since 1994.
Activities supported by the Republic of Palau DCP include the

the risk of diabetes. The Republic of Palau DCP continues to

Government employees in eight of the national ministries have been
surveyed and a survey of the small, outlying islands continues.

the Palau Nutritional Advisory Committee to increase national
awareness of the importance of healthy eating to control diabetes
and other chronic diseases.

developing diabetes care recommendations in collaboration with its
national medical association.
