Healthcare professionals play a critical role in tackling the obesity crisis. This World Obesity Day, we are calling on the health workforce to lead the way in delivering compassionate, evidence-based obesity care.

Calls to Action:

In Health Systems

To recognise obesity as a disease and establish monitoring and surveillance systems
To integrate and scale-up obesity prevention and management services within NCD programs, focusing on primary health care
To include access to primary, secondary and tertiary obesity services in insurance and universal health coverage packages
To resource and train the health workforce to deliver people-centred obesity care
