The newly set up obesity clinic at the taluk hospital in Kuttiyadi is proving to be a boon for those concerned about their body weight. It is a first-of-its-kind facility in the government sector in Kozhikode district.
Amal Jyothi, medical officer who is serving at the clinic, said on Monday that the idea of an exclusive clinic to treat obesity was part of efforts to control lifestyle diseases in the region. “There are a lot of women in this area, especially homemakers, who are found to be suffering from obesity which is leading to lifestyle diseases,” said Dr. Jyothi.
