Vulnerabili project provides insulin to impoverished diabetes patients

The ‘Vulnerabili’ project aims to provide insulin to individuals suffering from diabetes who are facing health poverty. Launched in 2025, the initiative is a collaboration between Novo and the Fondazione Banco Farmaceutico, with support from Giorgio Mulè, Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies.

Fra Marcello Longhi, director of Opera San Francesco per i poveri, emphasized the project's importance during the 5K@Easd event in Milan, held as part of the 62nd Congress of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (Easd). Longhi noted that the project is vital for ensuring survival and dignity for the most vulnerable, particularly those living on the streets of Milan who face significant challenges in accessing treatment.
