abstract: Diabcare is an international Project devoted to the evaluation of the Quality of Care [1] in the population of diabetic patients. As Diabetes is one of the most frequent chronic illnesses, the management of its treatment has a strong impact on the public health policy both regional and national [2]. Funded by the European Commission, initiated by WHO and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), this Project is now recognised as a Pilot Project throughout the world as an example of a large international collaboration for the surveillance of quality of care in a typical chronic disease.
