Kuwait has ranked first with 42.8% of the fattest countries in the world in 2018. It is commonly said that their love for fast food has lead to the alarmingly high rates of obesity.
"There are about 250,000 people suffering from obesity in Kuwait, and up to 50,000 of them need surgeries," Dr Mubarak Al Kandari said. "Obesity in Kuwait is now the highest rate in the world," he said, quoted by Kuwaiti daily Al Watan.
According to the consultant general surgeon, the hospital's obesity surgery unit is working to limit the spread of obesity in Kuwait.
The unit receives up to 30 patients a week.
Obesity is a problem that nearly every nation in the world is facing, but there is much that we can do to fix it.
