August 17, 2024 — The third China Obesity Conference (COC2024) grandly opened in Beijing. The conference is co-hosted by several authoritative institutions, gathering top experts from both domestic and international backgrounds to discuss the latest research findings and clinical practices regarding obesity. Among the topics, the traps and risk prevention of weight-loss metabolic surgery have become one of the most关注的 issues.
The conference’s connection to the “Weight Management Year” policy: promoting comprehensive improvement in the prevention and treatment of obesity.
In response to the national “Healthy China 2030 Strategy” and the implementation plan of the “Weight Management Year” activities, the third China Obesity Conference (COC2024) aims to promote comprehensive enhancement of scientific research on obesity, clinical quality control, talent training, technological innovation, and policy implementation to help address weight health issues faced by China and the world.
By establishing specialized forums, interdisciplinary forums, the latest clinical guidelines, the latest clinical research achievements, and forums on industry-university-research collaboration, the conference not only facilitated academic discussions and interdisciplinary exchanges in the field of obesity but also strengthened the deep integration of industry, academia, and research, accelerating the transformation and application of scientific research results to frontline clinical practice.
The significance of this conference lies in actively responding to the national policy direction, providing scientific basis and technical support for the prevention and treatment of obesity through academic exchanges and interdisciplinary cooperation.
By building a high-level academic exchange platform, the conference promoted the close integration of the latest research results in the field of obesity with clinical practice, laying a solid foundation for achieving the goals of “Weight Management Year.”
At the same time, the conference also provided more safe and effective treatment options for obesity patients through the strengthening of scientific research results transformation, thereby contributing to the realization of the national “Healthy China 2030 Strategy” goals.
Risk Prevention in Weight-Loss Metabolic Surgery Becomes the Focus
In the morning academic forum, Professor Zhang Jiancheng from Henan Provincial People’s Hospital delivered an excellent speech titled “Traps and Risk Prevention in Weight-Loss Metabolic Surgery.” Professor Zhang provided a clear and in-depth analysis of various challenges and potential risks that may be encountered during weight-loss surgery and proposed effective preventive measures. The subsequent discussion invited Professor Wu Liangping from Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine’s Jinshazhou Hospital to participate.
Professor Wu Liangping: Risk Prevention in Weight-Loss Metabolic Surgery
During the discussion, Professor Wu Liangping, a well-known expert in weight-loss surgery, conducted an in-depth exchange on the risk prevention of weight-loss metabolic surgery. Professor Wu has rich experience and significant achievements in the field of weight loss, particularly in breakthrough developments in endoscopic treatment, intragastric balloons, and hydrogel particle research. He emphasized the importance of risk identification and prevention during weight-loss surgery and shared some practical preventive strategies.
Professor Wu Liangping mentioned: “Weight-loss metabolic surgery is a highly complex medical process that requires strict preoperative assessment, precise surgical operations, and meticulous postoperative care. Through detailed planning and preventive measures, we can greatly reduce the risk of complications, enhancing the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.”
The third China Obesity Conference (COC2024) is not only an opportunity for academic exchange but also a key platform for promoting the prevention and treatment of obesity in China and globally. By sharing the latest research results and practical experiences, participating experts are collectively committed to improving the prevention and treatment levels of obesity, aiming to provide patients with safer and more effective weight loss solutions.
