Image Bank
ICPO Image Bank
Not for commercial use
“The National Obesity Management Programme is delighted to see the launch of this image bank. We will only address the health of people living with obesity when we stop stigmatizing and judging the condition. A picture is a thousand words. I have done many positive interviews about obesity, the message of which has been completely overshadowed by the accompanying negative imagery. This initiative is a real step forward in shaping society to deal actively with obesity – which is now the commonest of the chronic diseases we face”
Professor Donal O’Shea, HSE Clinical Lead for Obesity – Oct ’21
