Dr. Vivek Bindal, Bariatric Surgeon at Max Hospital Vaishali & Patparganj

March 4th marks World Obesity Day, an occasion dedicated to raising awareness about one of the most pressing health challenges of our time: obesity. As a Bariatric Surgeon at Max Hospital Vaishali & Patparganj, I am acutely aware of the profound impact obesity has on individuals and communities around the world. It is not just about appearance or body image; obesity is a complex health condition that significantly increases the risk of developing a host of serious diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and even certain types of cancer.

Obesity is a global epidemic that affects millions of people, regardless of age, gender, or background. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975. It’s no longer just an issue for high-income countries; obesity is spreading rapidly in lower- and middle-income nations as well, often due to urbanization, sedentary lifestyles, and poor dietary choices.

Let’s work together to tackle obesity and build a healthier future for all.
