Fasting at work during #Ramadan can be challenging but can also bring strength and resilience.
@dr_imranahmad and @sally_ghazali share their experiences as anaesthetists fasting during Ramadan in their blog from 2023.

Happy #WorldObesityDay 2025.
#Obesity is not a choice, #obesity is a complex, relapsing, progressive condition & NOT personal responsibility!
Lets work together to change the food environment, health inequity & focus on the wider system & NOT the individual
#ChangingSystems

🌍 Tomorrow's #WorldObesityDay!
It’s time to spotlight the systems—not individuals—that drive obesity. From health & food systems to our environments, real change starts with systemic action.
