The National Health Service (NHS) is considering a novel approach to combat the rising obesity crisis by potentially prescribing weight loss injections through online platforms. These platforms, including Liva, Oviva, Roczen, and Second Nature, aim to meet the surging demand for weight management services by utilizing virtual care delivery methods.
The recommendations have been made by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) as part of their draft guidance. These platforms, accessible through apps or computers, bring together various specialists, including those providing psychological support, to offer comprehensive care online.
