With that, the 2nd National Obesity Scientific Conference has come to a close. Over 2 days, we witnessed a convergence of more than 400 like-minded healthcare and allied healthcare professionals, generating the conversations on obesity in the Malaysian setting, alongside the updates on cutting-edge advances in the field presented by global and regional experts.
We are extremely encouraged with the strong attendance throughout the event, proving that the Malaysian healthcare fraternity is passionate in advancing the agenda of obesity as the Number 1 health issue plaguing our country.
We hope that the sessions have been useful and all the attendees had benefited from the conference. More importantly, we hope that the message spreads far and wide beyond the walls of our conference: that obesity is critical national public health issue, with far-reaching and long-lasting implications. It needs decisive, comprehensive and whole-of-society interventions.
The science is clear: obesity is not the failure of the individual, it is a it is a chronic disease that occurs due to a complex combination of factors. Evidence-based approaches for treatment are well established. We need commitments that ensure the interventions are accessible and sustainable. Let's keep the conversation going and bring this to the wider public consciousness and important stakeholders!
The NOSC organizing committee and MYOS council would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the attendees for the strong show of support throughout the conference. We apologize for any shortcomings and sincerely appreciate any feedback. Official conference photos will be uploaded in due time on the conference website so stay tuned!
We have many more plans lined up and we hope to see you at our future events!
