Addressing the global obesity crisis requires health systems that move beyond prevention to include care and treatment. However, translating global policy into national implementation remains challenging. Through the WHO Acceleration Plan to Stop Obesity, 34 countries committed to reducing the prevalence of obesity by 5% by 2030. Using the plan's operational model, we applied a policy and impact cycle and created a 100-day challenge platform, to support 12 countries to integrate and scale chronic obesity care within their health systems.
