The difference the system makes?
The case studies demonstrate that care provided by both systems have different barriers related to wait times, delivery of care, cost and access to multidisciplinary care for the patient and different remuneration for the doctor. Reducing the effects of obesity and its complications must include primary and secondary prevention strategies in addition to the tertiary management provided by medically supervised weight management clinics in public or private settings.
