Singapore — In a groundbreaking collaboration that took place on August 27th, the American Limb Preservation Society (ALPS) with its Diabetic Foot Conference (DFCon) partnered with the Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgeons of Singapore (SVESS) to shine a spotlight on the critical issue of limb preservation. This joint effort marks a significant stride in raising global awareness about diabetic foot complications and advocating for advanced limb preservation techniques.
The annual conference of ALPS, DFCon, has a longstanding reputation for uniting healthcare professionals and researchers in the fight against diabetic foot-related challenges.
