Obesity is a major public health issue in Romania, with 70% of the population overweight and 40% suffering from obesity. The national conference "Solutions for the Disease of the 21st Century" aims to address this crisis. Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete emphasizes the need for early education on health, proposing a dedicated module in schools for next year. This module will cover nutrition, prevention, screening, vaccination, sports, and healthy lifestyles. Rogobete insists that health education must be mandatory in schools to ensure its implementation.
