flag WHO endorses weight-loss drugs globally, raising hopes and concerns over affordability.

flag The World Health Organization (WHO) is set to endorse weight-loss drugs for adults globally, a move that could boost drug sales but raises concerns about affordability, especially in low-income countries. flag The drugs, such as Wegovy and Zepbound, have shown to help users lose 15-20% of their body weight but can cost over $1,000 per month. flag WHO's support could make these drugs more accessible if they are added to the essential medicines list, but cost remains a significant barrier.
