EPHI in Almedalen - Is slim a choice?

Doctor Vincent Flink Amble-Naess has written a report for Ephi on obesity and medicines. Flink Amble-Naess notes that there is currently effective medical treatment for weight loss. The question is who should receive it, how should the treatment be financed and how should we really view obesity and overweight?


On stage to discuss access to obesity medication in Almedalen we had report author Vincent Flink Amble-Naess, healthcare debater Hanne Kjöller, Member of Parliament Karin Sundin (S) and Chairman of the Social Affairs Committee Christian Carlsson (KD). The conversation was moderated by EPHI CEO Marie Söderqvist.
