WHO cancels World Obesity Summit in Madrid following train accident
Published
The World Health Organization (WHO) has decided to cancel the World Obesity Summit, which was scheduled to take place in Madrid. The reason for the suspension is a recent train accident.
This summit is an international gathering where experts, researchers and health officials from different countries come together. During these events, data is shared and strategies to combat obesity, a health problem that affects millions of people around the world, are debated.
The news has caused concern among participants who were planning to attend, many of them coming from other countries. According to the information available, the decision was taken to protect people who could be affected by the consequences of the accident and by the transport problems it has caused.
For the time being, no new dates have been announced for the meeting. Health authorities and organisers will continue to provide updates on the next steps.
