Novo Nordisk Philippines is strengthening its Live Lighter movement through a new partnership with Asian Hospital and Medical Center (AHMC), aimed at expanding access to holistic, science-based weight management care in the country.<\/p>\n
Through the collaboration, Novo Nordisk will provide subsidies to qualified patients, helping make Asian Hospital\u2019s comprehensive weight management programs more accessible. Led by the Asian Weight Management and Bariatric Center, these programs combine medical evaluation, nutrition guidance, behavioral support, and long-term care\u2014reflecting an integrated approach to treating obesity as a chronic, complex disease.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this partnership, we are able to make our holistic weight management programs more accessible to patients who need them most,\u201d said Dr. Beaver Tamesis, President and CEO of Asian Hospital and Medical Center.<\/p>\n
The initiative supports the Live Lighter call to shift how obesity is understood\u2014from a matter of personal responsibility to a disease requiring sustained, science-based management\u2014while addressing key barriers such as affordability and access.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy partnering with trusted institutions like Asian Hospital, we aim to help more Filipinos access the right treatment and long-term care they deserve,\u201d said Wei Sun, General Manager of Novo Nordisk Philippines.<\/p>\n
As part of its broader efforts, Novo Nordisk continues to build partnerships that integrate clinical expertise, patient support, and innovation, alongside science-based treatments such as semaglutide-based GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies\u2014helping more Filipinos live lighter, healthier lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
