The documents attached to the project envisage payment of $1.891.999 to acquire insulin for the coming 5 years, provided that Eli Lilly and Company implements an investment project worth $427.625. Currently, the state provides diabetic children with short-acting insulin vials that have no therapeutic effect, as 68% of children and young people are having hypoglycemia seizures at least once a year and are being hospitalized.
