Transforming Wound Care: Prevent First, Treat Better

Shifting from Crisis Care to Early Care

It is more than a course. It is a movement. A movement to transform diabetic foot care in India from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.

A dedicated learning platform by the Diabetic Foot Society of India (DFSI) in collaboration with JB Pharma (Educational Partner). India today is home to over 101 million people living with diabetes, making it the diabetes capital of the world. Along with this growing epidemic comes a silent but devastating complication of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU).

Why DFSI Woundsight is a Necessity for the Future?
  • Diabetes prevalence is projected to rise to 134 million Indians by 2045.
  • With this surge, diabetic foot complications will only multiply, unless healthcare professionals are trained at scale.
  • India faces a shortage of specialized podiatric training – making this course one of the first structured, CME-oriented programs to empower both doctors and paramedics.
  • By bridging the knowledge-to-practice gap, DFSI Woundsight ensures that the next generation of healthcare providers is equipped to:
    • Detect risk factors early
    • Prevent foot ulcers through proper patient guidance
    • Deliver timely wound care and infection control
    • Reduce the amputation burden across India

The Reality in India

Nearly 25% of people with diabetes in India are at risk of developing a foot ulcer during their lifetime.

Every year, lakhs new DFU cases are reported. DFUs are the leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputations in India.

Studies suggest that 85% of amputations in diabetics are preceded by a preventable foot ulcer.

Beyond medical impact, DFUs lead to loss of livelihood, psychological stress, and huge economic burden for families.

In a country where early detection and skilled management can make the difference
between saving and losing a limb, education becomes the most powerful tool.
