  "summary": "A government-backed weight management programme in Abu Dhabi has helped more than 6,500 individuals lose significant amounts of weight, with some shedding up to 22% of their body weight in the first year. The personalised treatment plans, which included clinical interventions, nutritional and behavioural support, and continuous follow-ups with doctors, were offered to patients with obesity by the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre. The initiative aimed to reduce the risk of obesity-related chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro, as well as oral pills like Foundayo and Wegovy, have provided patients with new treatment options.",
