“Reboot the system”: WHO’s new GLP-1 guidance urges universally accessible care
The WHO warns that the current production levels of GLP-1 therapies are insufficient to equitably provide care for the billion people suffering from obesity. While advocating the long-term use of these medications, it calls for health care systems to focus on person-centered care with fair access to treatments. As the WHO approves the long-term use of GLP-1 (over six months), it also suggests combining it with intensive behavioral therapy (IBT). This involves creating structured goals for exercise and diet, restricting energy intake, receiving weekly counseling, and conducting routine progress assessments.
