Weight Matters – Tackling the Obesity Epidemic in Malaysia Together

Prof Dr Rohana Abdul Ghani, Consultant Endocrinologist, and President of the Malaysian Obesity Society, joins us to unpack the multifactorial ecosystem that affects people with obesity, and how to better support them in managing their weight.
