About us

Why the Global Obesity Patient Alliance Exists

The impact of obesity spans the entire globe, yet our voices aren’t yet heard loud enough for all to hear. Here are the important facts: Obesity is a Chronic Disease; Weight Bias/Stigma still exists and needs to end, and Negative Perceptions of people with obesity must change.
