Obesity is a complex chronic disease linked to serious health risks, requiring a multidisciplinary medical approach for effective management, according to Adriana Turea, president of the Endocrine Diseases Patients Association. During a roundtable discussion, she emphasized the need for collaboration among various healthcare specialists to address the interconnected issues of weight, heart health, and diabetes. Turea also highlighted the challenges patients face in accessing medical services, citing an example of a patient unable to undergo necessary surgery due to weight limitations of medical facilities. She advocates for treating obesity as a medical condition rather than a matter of willpower.
