00:00I, along with three other colleagues, are among the founders of an intergroup council founded in July 2024.
00:08who dealt with obesity, healthy lifestyles and diabetes.
00:12Obesity is now a global health emergency that can no longer be ignored and must be addressed.
00:21The key word is clearly prevention.
00:23Last week we approved the PDL 127 which recognizes obesity and gives it social relevance.
00:31which follows, as you well know, the national recognition of obesity as a disease.
00:38A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for obesity because it is evident that there are a series of pathologies that
00:47it related
00:48starting from cardiovascular problems, respiratory problems, type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions.
00:56It's clear that investing in prevention today means having a healthier population tomorrow, with less impact on the healthcare system.
01:05Public-private collaboration is extremely important, especially in healthcare.
01:11because it responds to a fundamental need which is the need for health and we have the duty to invest
01:19more and more resources
01:20on such an important need. Today we are also here to be there and to convey an important message.
01:29because, as I was saying earlier, if alone you go faster, together you go further
01:34and with this collaboration we can certainly provide an answer to a health need.
01:41Thank you
