Surat Summit Tackles Diabetes-Related Foot Ulcer Neglect
People with diabetes can sometimes get foot ulcers, which are sores on their feet.
These ulcers can be serious, but they are often ignored because people aren't aware of them or can't easily get help from doctors who specialize in foot care.
Recently, a conference called Surat DiaFoot Summit 2025 was held in Surat to talk about this problem.
Doctors and experts from all over India came together to discuss how to help people with diabetic foot problems.
