Designed for individuals struggling with obesity, the new clinic offers supervised care, lifestyle correction, and long-term support for sustainable health outcomes

With obesity rapidly increasing across all age groups in India, Medicover Hospital has launched a dedicated Obesity Clinic in Navi Mumbai. The clinic aims to support individuals dealing with excess weight, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, sedentary lifestyles, work-related stress, and related health complications such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and hormonal imbalance. The launch underscores Medicover Hospital’s focus on preventive and long-term lifestyle-based care rather than temporary solutions. Present on the occasion was Chief Guest Dr. Kriti Samudra, Sr.Consultant MD(Medicine) Diabetologist during the clinic launch

In today’s urban lifestyle, long working hours, physical inactivity, irregular meals, poor sleep, and chronic stress have become common. These factors not only lead to gradual weight gain but also disturb blood sugar control, often resulting in diabetes over time. Many individuals live with obesity and diabetes for years without proper guidance, depending on crash diets or irregular medication, which rarely deliver lasting results.

The Obesity Clinic follows a structured, medically supervised approach. The clinic focuses on identifying the root causes of weight gain and high blood sugar levels and offers customised nutrition plans, physical activity guidance, behavioural counselling, and diagnostic evaluations. Each treatment plan is designed according to the individual’s age, medical history, lifestyle, and metabolic health, ensuring realistic and sustainable outcomes.

 Clinic Highlights :

• A comprehensive care approach focusing on obesity, diabetes control, and overall metabolic health
• Preventive and corrective support to reduce the risk of long-term lifestyle-related complications
• Multidisciplinary expert care, involving physicians, endocrinologists, nutritionists, fitness specialists, and psychologists
• Individually tailored treatment plans based on detailed medical and lifestyle assessments
• A safe and supportive environment that motivates patients throughout their health journey

Dr. Prashant Gaikwad, Endocrinologist, Medicover Hospital, said,“Obesity and type 2 diabetes are closely linked and often develop silently over the years. They are not just lifestyle issues but chronic medical conditions that affect the heart, kidneys, nerves, and overall quality of life. Many adults feel discouraged after trying multiple diets or depending only on medicines without understanding the root problem. Through this clinic, we aim to provide medical clarity, structured guidance, and long-term support. Our focus is on gradual, sustainable lifestyle changes that help control weight, improve blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of serious complications.”

Rajeshwari Panda, Head of the Dietetics Department at Medicover Hospital, added, “Diabetes reversal is not about extreme food restrictions but about understanding how the body responds to nutrition, stress, sleep, and daily habits. In this clinic, we design practical and balanced meal plans that fit into real adult lifestyles. By improving nutrition quality, meal timing, and consistency, we help patients improve metabolism, manage blood sugar levels, increase energy, and feel healthier over time. The goal is not short-term weight loss, but long-term metabolic health.”

Sandip Joshi, Centre Head, Medicover Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, said, “Obesity and diabetes often go unnoticed until complications such as heart disease, joint problems, or kidney issues arise. Early medical intervention and guided lifestyle correction can reduce long-term health risks. With the launch of the Obesity Clinic, Medicover Hospital encourages preventive healthcare. We encourage individuals to seek timely support, make informed health decisions, and take control of their well-being before conditions become severe.”
