Novo Nordisk Korea President Rana Ajfa Jaffa said, “Novo Nordisk hosts various events every year to commemorate World Obesity Day. The obesity-related quiz event is meaningful in that it reminded employees of the dangers of obesity once again and allowed them to sympathize with the difficulties that obese patients face in their daily life. Through this program, we will do our best to improve awareness of obesity and create an environment where obese patients can be actively treated.”
