Obesity is one of the main public health challenges of the 21st century. In response, San Roque University Hospitals has launched an Obesity and Cardiometabolic Health Unit that focuses on an interdisciplinary approach, focused on the patient and with the most advanced diagnostic technology.
From the first contact, the patient is at the center of the entire process. A comprehensive assessment is conducted to thoroughly understand the factors specific to each case, from metabolic and hormonal aspects to nutritional, emotional, and physical status. To this end, this new unit is comprised of a team of highly qualified professionals in the fields of endocrinology, nutrition, psychology, physical activity, and other key areas such as surgery and endoscopic procedures, who work together to provide personalized, comprehensive, and sustainable care. This expertise is combined with diagnostic techniques such as advanced bioimpedance (InBody®), liver elastography (FibroScan®), and other morphofunctional assessment tests.
The primary objective of this unit is to improve the patient's quality of life by promoting healthy lifestyle habits, fostering independence, and reducing the risk of complications associated with this condition.
This initiative represents a firm step toward more humane, precise healthcare tailored to the real needs of people living with obesity. A commitment to health that combines science, innovation, and community.
