“For me it’s an honour to be the Portuguese Ambassador for the ‘Unite for Diabetes’ campaign for a United Nations Resolution on diabetes promoted by the International Diabetes Federation with the Associação Protectora dos Diabéticos de Portugal, aiming to alert the global community to the enormity of the problem and calling for global action,” said Mourinho.

“Together we will win!”
