Roberta Marinelli from Eli Lilly & Company denotes the need for communication and obesity as a continuous disease

In health care, the world is in a place of execution. Obesity has been one of the public health issues that oppress our time, and accelerate immediately.

For a long time, obesity has been evident, inappropriately, as a matter of personal commitment, resulting in a life-style selection or lack of power. That thought is not only out of time, but it misleads. Now, the World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes obesity as obsolete, and disease analysis. The disease should be treated as any other state of bad health; By science, formation, and controversialism and social discrimination.

On September 25, international leaders will call with the world’s most pressed diseases or health challenges at the Psychiatric Prevention of the United Nations and promoting mental and well-being (HLM4). Key NCDs are targeted including heart disease (such as heart disease and grain), cancer, diabetes, and respiratory diseases, which is the leading cause of the death. Obesity is a serious dangerous accident of these NCD, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cancer.

The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi has already taken the first step to lead the Global Shift in the management of obesity. June 12, the capital of UAE became one of the first region, and among the few in the world, to fulfill the National Training and prevention policy. This is not just a policy change. It is a paradigm shift, putting science and patients in the center of care.

And yet in science, some many other countries do not seem to be obese. Patients are denied access to care, and in the ministry poured behind the fact that medicine.

Abu Dhabi’s way sets a new sign. It includes scientific recognition of obesity through the world’s actual act: Community integration of new, testimonial treatments such as GLP-1 Receptor Agonists. It also emphasizes the broader idea of ​​health – one that includes prevention, time intervention, and equally. That is something even with other highest quality health systems in the world we strive to achieve.

This bold policy marks historical changes in scientific support that will help patients in the region.

Despite evidence, worldwide, many people live in obesity and are facing socially, blaming, and the opposition of care. These attitudes and ideas are wrong and, importantly, is not scientifically basic. Obesity, not a decision, conducted by the complex, natural, environmental, environmental, and social. Since no one chooses to have asthma or cancer, people are not eligible.

Today, one of all eight people worldwide live obesity. This figure is expected to double the year 2030. In fact, millions of premature death is caused by infidelity related to submission as a respiratory illness.

But in addition to the numbers there is a deep story; Being overweighs the highest risk of developing the type of diabetes 2, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer.

Some of the results that are commonly attended by the recruitment of economic obesity, no slightly misrepresentation has a health impact. The payment is great. If left unmarked, international expenses of obesity and obesity will surpass $ 3 trillion by year 2030, with reduced production, deaths at the right time. Humble progress can have a huge economic impact. Reduce the increase in obesity by 5% just to produce all the world all about $ 430 billion a year. However, dealing with obesity is more than reducing its associated costs; Studies show that excessive combatity improves all health and production, eventually driving economic growth.

Like Abu Dhabi, government policy must be matched and speed. Implementation should be faster. Patients around the world cannot wait for access while programs hold. Access Delay can look with the effects of these policies aimed at improving. By improving health effects and reduces long-term costs, Abu Dhabi shows how to turn public health fees into the national population. This model is not only suitable for patients; Good economy and communities.

This is the call for all earthquake. It is a diagnostic for all countries to answer. By combining a clinical science with all, Abu Dhabi shows what it means to pay attention to disease seriously. Building the future when patients may not forbid care due to the expiry of the expiry and social ideas. It is proof that the government policy l, scientific integrity, and a broader alignment of the system, can change obesity.

Lilly develops new scientific discoveries in prominent care for forgiveness, always focusing on our patients. We are committed to building a health-changing health care of the root causes of obesity, and its problems. But the medicine alone is not enough. We need governments, policies, suppliers, and communities to do something by dedicating and coordination. Time to do the action now.
