New obesity treatment launched
Polokwane Observer
|March 05, 2026
The launch of Mounjaro (tirzepatide) at Fusion Boutique Hotel last Thursday has opened new opportunities for doctors to treat obesity and reduce life-threatening complications linked to the condition.
According to Dr Nkhensane Khosa, a general practitioner in Polokwane, obesity is a chronic, relapsing disease influenced by multiple factors, including genetics, environmental, metabolic and psychosocial elements.
Speaking at the launch event, attended by general practitioners, specialists and nutrition professionals from the city and surrounding areas, Khosa said 90% of patients with diabetes mellitus are obese, while many people living with obesity remain undiagnosed.
