France now reimburses obesity drugs Wegovy and Mounjaro under strict conditions
France's healthcare system has begun reimbursing the anti-obesity medications Wegovy and Mounjaro, with strict eligibility conditions that limit access to specific patient populations. According to France 24, the country's obesity rates remain lower than those of other EU nations, though weight issues do affect significant portions of the population, particularly in certain regions. France 24 also addresses the common stereotype that French people don't gain weight, noting it oversimplifies a more nuanced reality.
