EASO has a key role in driving focused policy discussions on obesity and ensuring alignment on key asks from the obesity community by disseminating information on key policy developments, among our National Associations and members, clinicians, scientists, research professionals and ECPO patient communities.
At EASO we work to inform and support EU institutions in their efforts to strengthen EU health systems by ensuring obesity is prioritised and addressed as a chronic disease across EU health policies and initiatives.
To this end, we review upcoming policy initiatives to ensure initiatives and measures that are linked to obesity and more widely resilient health systems, reflect the science on obesity, aligns with the European Commission’s categorisation of obesity as a chronic relapsing disease and ensures people living with obesity have access to appropriate treatment and care along the life course.
