Chennai, Oct 15: MGM Healthcare Malar, Adyar, launched its ‘Metabolic Clinic’ on Thursday to provide specialised, multidisciplinary care for obesity and metabolic disorders, offering individualised, evidence-based treatment and support for patients with a range of associated health conditions.
The clinic will focus on excess weight management, treatment of related medical complications and supporting the remission of several metabolic conditions. Its services will also address prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and lipid abnormalities, including elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
The initiative aims to provide comprehensive care tailored to individual health needs, recognising that obesity and metabolic disorders often require a combination of medical treatment, lifestyle changes and long-term monitoring.
According to information available on the hospital's official website, MGM Malar's diabetology and endocrinology department provides specialised care for diabetes, hormonal disorders, obesity, dyslipidaemia and metabolic syndrome. Its multidisciplinary approach brings together specialists and nutritionists, along with other medical professionals, to support personalised treatment.
MGM Healthcare has also previously introduced specialised weight-management services through its ‘Nalam’ Institute for Metabolic Disorders and Hormonal Health. The programme combines medical assessment, nutritional counselling, behavioural modification, psychological support and surgical options where appropriate. Its approach includes personalised treatment plans based on individual metabolic and hormonal profiles.
The launch of the Metabolic Clinic at MGM Healthcare Malar comes amid growing attention to the need for comprehensive management of obesity and metabolic conditions, which can be associated with diabetes, cardiovascular complications and other long-term health concerns.
Through the new clinic, MGM Healthcare Malar aims to strengthen its specialised services for patients requiring coordinated care for excess weight, blood sugar abnormalities, hormonal conditions and related metabolic complications.
