Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I extend this invitation to you for the 2nd Malaysian Obesity Society (MYOS) National Obesity Scientific Meeting (NOSM) 2026. As MYOS continues to grow and building on the success of our inaugural meeting in March 2024, we continue our mission to confront one of the most pressing health challenges of our time.

Obesity is now globally recognised as a chronic, progressive, relapsing, and debilitating disease, which is a reality that resonates deeply in Malaysia. The rapid rise in overweight and obesity prevalence calls for urgent, coordinated action to curb its escalating health, social, psychological, and economic consequences.

This meeting will feature an outstanding line-up of distinguished speakers and leading experts in the field of clinical obesity. It will serve as a dynamic platform for in-depth discussions on the practical and clinical aspects of obesity and its complications, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of its management. Specialists from diverse medical and surgical disciplines will share insights, ensuring a comprehensive exchange of knowledge and strategies.

Our programme will combine state-of-the-art scientific lectures with real-world case studies, bridging the gap between evidence and practice. We aim to equip participants with the latest advances in obesity care, while emphasising practical approaches that can be applied in daily clinical work.

I am confident that this meeting will be informative, impactful and inspiring, to serve as a valuable opportunity to enhance your expertise and contribute to the national and global effort against obesity. I look forward to welcoming you to participate in this engaging academic platform that will shape the future of obesity management in Malaysia.
