Guest: Azrul Mohd Khalib, CEO, Galen Centre for Health & Social Policy, Associate Professor Dr Azriyanti Anuar Zaini, Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist, Universiti Malaya Medical Centre
One in three school-aged children in Malaysia is overweight or obese, putting them on a worrying trajectory of chronic diseases in adulthood like diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. But it’s going to take more than body-shaming children or guilting parents, to turn this trend around. We tackle the complexities of treating childhood obesity and explore public health strategies with Azrul Mohd Khalib, CEO, Galen Centre for Health & Social Policy, and Assoc Prof Dr Azriyanti Anuar Zaini, Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist, Universiti Malaya Medical Centre.
