It was estimated that worldwide the number of people living with obesity had reached 890 million in 2022, a figure that has doubled over the last 30 years. In the Middle East, the prevalence of obesity is 21.2%. Obesity contributes to increased risks of comorbidities such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers; high rates pose serious socio-economic and health system challenges in the region.
“We are excited to bring new, minimally invasive solutions like endomina into our portfolio. Offering innovative treatment options for patients living with obesity reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing patient care and outcomes across the region,” said Atsushi Tateishi, General Manager of Fujifilm Middle East FZE. “Through this collaboration, we aim to make meaningful advances in obesity care and improve access to cutting-edge therapies for healthcare providers and patients alike.”
