Show Notes
South Africas healthcare leaders advocate for obesity to be viewed as a chronic disease, not just a cosmetic issue. With links to over two hundred health problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea, the focus is on better recognition and treatment. Stigma and economic burden are significant challenges, with lower-income individuals in South Africa disproportionately affected due to limited access to specialists and programs. New treatments and plans are on the horizon, aiming to lower costs and improve access to care.
