French Healthcare System Reimburses Anti-Obesity Drugs

Not all skinny: The French do get fat

With the French healthcare system now reimbursing the anti-obesity drugs Wegovy and Mounjaro, we explain what the strict conditions are to benefit from them. We discuss France's rates of obesity and the areas where they're highest. Finally, we discuss the common stereotype that French people don't get fat. While not true, it does contain a sliver of truth when comparing France to other EU nations.
