And we're off #PoliticoHealthcare kicks off with EFC van Rossum who explains VERY clearly that obesity is not about weight. Its about an abnormal functioning of adipose tissue.

#PoliticoHealthCare explains EFC van Rossum explains that "lifestyle" is not "The Treatment" for obesity - it depends on the root cause of the onset of obesity

We need to make the Member States acknowledge that obesity is an NCD and align on a common language and EVERY member state should have a National Action Plan on obesity (beyond prevention). #PoliticoHealthCare POLITICOEurope Pernille Weiss-Ehler

The upcoming reform of 🇪🇺 pharmaceutical rules puts patients and innovation at centre stage. Every 🇪🇺 citizen, no matter where they live, must have access to affordable medicines. Alongside Margaritis Schinas, we discussed how make this happen with European Patients' Forum and The European Public Health Alliance (EPHA).

Thank you to all those who participated to our round table at the European Parliament to discuss the costs of inaction of not implementing obesity under the #NCD Framework. Not only do we now have figures to bring to the European Commission, but also concrete policy recommendations.
