Obesity Treatment
Obesity is a chronic health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the body, which can affect quality of life and overall health. Today, obesity is not evaluated merely as weight gain; it is a complex process in which many factors such as dietary habits, physical activity level, genetic factors, hormonal changes, and lifestyle play a joint role.
The evaluation of obesity does not consist solely of weight measurement. A comprehensive approach is planned by considering the individual’s overall health status, lifestyle habits, existing diseases, and dietary pattern together.
Within the scope of Obesity Treatment Guzelyurt services, Prof. Dr. Semir Pasa and Specialist Dietitian Eliz Konat provide multidisciplinary evaluation and follow-up services at MediHeart Medical Center.
Our center serves individuals applying not only from the Guzelyurt region, but also from different regions of TRNC, primarily Lefke, Nicosia, Kyrenia, Famagusta, and Iskele. Where appropriate, patients coming from across North Cyprus and Cyprus can also apply to our center.
