Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Xuyen, President of the Vietnam Medical Association, Former Deputy Minister of Health of Vietnam, emphasized: “The obesity rate in Vietnam has increased significantly over the past 10 years and tends to continue to increase in the next 10 years.
Through the cooperation of Novo Nordisk Vietnam and the Vietnam Medical Association, reputable websites such as giamcansongkhoe.vn will be a reliable connection channel for people living with overweight and obesity to learn more information, evidence, scientific recommendations, especially helping them access appropriate medical facilities for timely treatment.
Mr. Erik Wiebols, General Director of Novo Nordisk Vietnam, said: “I believe that the website will significantly contribute to raising Vietnamese people's awareness of the burden of obesity and understanding of scientific methods of disease management.
The launch of the website is a really important step towards realising our shared vision and mission to make a difference in improving the quality of life of people living with obesity.”
