If you too are spending thousands of rupees with the help of private doctors to be thin, you will no longer have to spend any such cost, as you will get this treatment at a government hospital in Gujarat. The initiative of Dietitian OPD at the Civil Hospital and Obesity Management Research by IIM Ahmedabad are important steps in this direction.
Dietitian OPD started at Civil Hospital
A new initiative has been launched on May 10, 2025 at a 1200 -bed hospital at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital. As part of this initiative, a ‘Dyotashian OPD’ has been launched. This center is proving useful for patients with diabetes, blood pressure, hypertension, including obesity. Ahmedabad Civil Hospital has also been organized by the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital that the patients with obesity coming to each department of Ahmedabad Civil Hospital can go to this center. The BMI index of the patient with obesity is determined in this center and then the corresponding person is given a diet plan.
Obesity Management Research will be conducted by IIM Ahmedabad
The Indian Institute of Management (IIMA) has signed a five -year agreement with Novo Nordisk India, aims to strengthen the Obesity Care Ecosystem. This partnership focuses on Health System Capacity Building, Policy Advocacy and Health Economics. IIMA will develop a model framework for obesity clinics, prepare educational content for healthcare professionals, and evaluate the role of telemedicine.
Mandavita Awareness programs are held in schools
In the city and district, children are taught the importance of nutritious diet and physical activity in government schools. In many schools, junk food has been banned and nutritious grains like ragi, millet are promoted. These measures help prevent childhood obesity. Awareness programs are also organized in schools regarding obesity.
Private hospitals costs expensive
Many private hospitals in the city provide special services in the field of obesity prevention. All kinds of treatments including diet planning, meditation, weight loss, bariatric surgery are made available. In these hospitals, patients are also provided with gastric bypass, sleeve gastractomy, personal dietary plans and psychological support. But their costs cannot be afforded. Following this, Madasvita Free Gujarat Campaign has been launched in the state.
