Star: PUTRAJAYA: The Health and Education Ministries will work together to help curb obesity among school children.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said here Thursday that he did not want children to be teased by their peers for being overweight.
“When students get their BMI index recorderd, Health Ministry officers will also go to schools and promote the importance of healthy eating and lifestyle,” he added.
Liow also told reporters that 30 doctors would attend a training programme by the Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia and Royal College of Physicians in March so that they could help train housemen.
