Abstract:
Based on the actual situation of rapid increase in obesity prevalence and the current lack of a professional weight loss and bariatric surgery treatment platform in Macao, coupled with the continouous rise in the obesity population, the further development and refine-ment of obesity treatment methods has become particularly urgent. Against this backdrop, the authors conduct an in-depth discussion to analyze how Macao, leveraging its unqiue geographical location and favorable policy advantages within the broader context of collaborative development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao greater bay area, can actively explore future development paths and potential challenges in the fields of bariatric and metabolic medicine and surgery, with the aim to provide a robust reference for advancing related medical technologies in Macao, thereby enhancing the overall level of obesity treatment in the region.
