Bumrungrad launches weight management solution amid health crisis
Published on 22/01/2026
» Bumrungrad International Hospital reveals alarming facts about excess weight and obesity among Thais, highlighting the enormous economic losses faced by the country as a result. Nearly 50% of the Thai population is overweight, with the prevalence continuing to rise — signalling that Thailand is entering a society burdened by obesity faster and more severely than expected. While the majority of individuals struggle to achieve long-term weight loss, Bumrungrad International Hospital offers a comprehensive range of weight management solutions delivered by specialist physicians and a multidisciplinary healthcare team. These personalised treatment programmes are tailored to each individual and place Bumrungrad among the world’s early pioneers in integrated weight management, combining Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) — an innovative minimally invasive gastric suturing technique — with pharmacological therapy. The hospital emphasises that effective prevention of obesity-related diseases requires safe, medically supervised weight control, alongside sustainable lifestyle modifications encompassing nutrition, physical activity, medication and advanced medical interventions.
