Policies, Interventions and Actions

Executive Decree No. 44780-S - Declaration of Obesity as a Chronic Disease of Public Health Importance

In January 2025, the decree signed by health authorities, including the Minister of Health, recognises that obesity is a complex, chronic disease and commits to a holistic and scientifically grounded approach to obesity, advocating for a redefinition of obesity classification, the adoption of comprehensive diagnostic tools, the combatting of stigma, and the implementation of supportive public health policies. The decree formalises the "National Standard for Comprehensive Care for Overweight and Obesity." which aims to ensure that all people who are living with overweight oe obesity receive comprehensive medical care, including everything from prevention to appropriate treatment.
