The vision of Obesity Platform Belgium<\/h2>\n

The Platform stimulates the cooperation of a diverse group of experts in the field of obesity and patient representatives in order to achieve effective obesity policies and, hence, lead to more support for effective prevention measures and better care and improved health outcomes for people living with obesity in Belgium.<\/p>\n

The mission of Obesity Platform Belgium<\/h2>\n

The mission of the OPB is on the one hand, support policymakers in developing policy to prevent obesity and on the other hand improving access to evidence based and structured care in a cost-effective manner and raise the standards of quality care. We aim to eliminate obesity-related prejudices and stigmas, while informing policymakers and other actors about the nature of the disease and its treatment methods. Through this change in narrative, we strive to ensure that people living with obesity gain access to the same medically necessary and covered care offered to others who suffer from chronic diseases.<\/p>\n

Why now?<\/h2>\n

Obesity has been earmarked as a health care priority to work on. This is an important signal from the Federal Minister of Public Health Mr. Frank Vandenbroucke and the RIZIV\/INAMI, the Belgian institute for health and disability Insurance. This creates a unique momentum for a coalition of Belgian obesity experts, pleading for a care path that focuses on accessible and efficient obesity care. The right care should be given at the right time and adapted to every individual\u2019s needs. The exceptional collaboration, coming from different perspectives within the Platform, has one main purpose: to provide solutions to the many challenges surrounding effective obesity care.<\/p>\n
