Peter Piot Warns Of Obesity Diabetes Tsunami

Peter Piot, the virologist and EU health security adviser, warned in an interview in Hyderabad during the BioAsia conference last month that a 'tsunami' of obesity and diabetes is the world’s biggest health threat. He urged regulatory reform to accelerate biomedical innovation, highlighted limited access to GLP-1 obesity drugs, and warned climate change will expand infectious-disease ranges, calling for better surveillance and communication.
