France's government is addressing rising obesity rates with a substantive 'obesity plan' set to be unveiled in September 2025. This effort acknowledges the misconception that obesity is not a concern in France. The plan aims to incorporate diverse sectors, including education and healthcare, and will potentially reform the prescription of weight-loss medications. Currently, only specialized doctors can prescribe these drugs, but the government aims to grant general practitioners the authority to do so. This comprehensive approach reflects an urgent need for action to combat obesity in the nation.
The French government has announced a new obesity plan to tackle rising obesity rates, shifting the misconception of France as solely a 'slim' nation.
Junior health minister Yannick Neuder emphasized the importance of overcoming the stigma around obesity, as these plans aim to implement comprehensive strategies for obesity management.
