Speaking about her appointment, Dilek Dogan Gurluk said: “My focus and ambition is to drive a societal shift of chronic disease management for obesity care in Ireland. I’m honoured to lead Novo Nordisk Ireland at such a pivotal time of change for our company and for healthcare more broadly. As a company we need to consistently push ourselves to be ambitious and unlock the potential this great company has. Novo Nordisk can proudly stand over a track record of innovation that has not only transformed the treatment of diabetes but also reshaped its societal recognition as a chronic disease.

Through Novo Nordisk’s A Healthier Ireland Strategy, we will work with our partners across healthcare, Government and the community, to drive positive systemic change for patients by removing barriers that prevent better health outcomes. By driving science and innovation, we can help create lasting change for patients and society alike.
