MENA Metabolic and Obesity Conference (MMOC)
Obesity and its associated complications present a significant public health challenge, yet a substantial gap remains in knowledge and communication across medical specialties regarding its diagnosis and management.

By bridging these gaps, the program aims to equip healthcare professionals with the tools necessary to meet the growing demand for effective, evidence-based obesity care.
