Fußnetz Bayern
Das Fußnetz Bayern wurde gegründet, um eine gemeinsame Plattform für alle Betroffenen zu schaffen, wenn es um Diabetes, Diabetisches Fußsyndrom, Charcot-Arthropathie und Polyneuropathie geht. Aber auch für alle Behandler der genannten Erkrankungen. Betroffene und deren Angehörige sollen in ihrer Wohngegend qualifizierte Fußambulanzen, Ärzte, Podologen, Orthopädieschuhmacher oder Pflegedienste selbst finden können. Hausärzte, die dieses Krankheitsbild erkennen, aber nicht selbst behandeln, können sich zielgerichtet informieren, bei welchen Spezialisten ihre Patienten optimal versorgt werden. Vor allem will das Fußnetz Bayern aber Eines: Die Betroffenen vor den schwerwiegenden Konsequenzen dieser Erkrankungen besser schützen.
DARCO ist Fördermitglied des Fußnetz Bayern. Gemeinsam wollen wir Aktivitäten bündeln, um die Versorgung von Menschen mit Diabetischem Fußsyndrom bayernweit zu verbessern.
