Romania is set to implement a national strategy against obesity in six months, addressing prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The announcement was made during the national conference "Romania Intelligent: Solutions for the 21st Century Disease – Partnership in the Fight Against Obesity." Approximately 70% of Romanians are overweight, with nearly 40% suffering from obesity. Without urgent measures, around 11 million Romanians could face obesity in the coming years. Health officials emphasize the need for a comprehensive strategy, involving healthcare professionals in its development. The healthcare system is under pressure due to rising obesity and diabetes rates, necessitating individualized treatment plans. Experts warn that obesity is often underdiagnosed in heart disease patients, highlighting the importance of addressing this issue to save lives. A long-term plan is essential for effective healthcare access and innovative therapies.
