Bariatric Surgery Treatment

Obesity is defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30 and is emerging as a serious health challenge across many parts of Africa. With rising urbanization, lifestyle changes, and dietary shifts, obesity rates are steadily increasing especially among women and in urban populations. This trend is contributing to a surge in related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, prompting many individuals to seek specialized care and surgical interventions such as bariatric surgery beyond their home countries.
