A weighty call to action
October 21, 2010
iNOVA Pharmaceuticals is calling
for unity in the weight loss industry
in order to implement a widespread
approach to tackle the treatment and
management of obesity in Australia.
The comments come on the eve
of the 20th anniversary annual
meeting of the Australian New
Zealand Obesity Society.
“The evidence that obesity should
be classified as a chronic condition
is on the rise,” said Dr Jamshed
Ahmed, Medical Director of iNova.
“As with other chronic medical
conditions, it is our view that a
collaborative approach among the
healthcare profession, industry, the
community and Government, needs
to be considered in order to ensure
improved patient outcomes and
halt the escalating rate of obesity in
our country,” he added.
