About IMACH

What is IMACH?

The International Association of Metabolic Care Health Professionals — a multidisciplinary scientific association advancing integrated metabolic healthcare through education, research and collaboration.

What does “integrated metabolic care” mean?

Treating related conditions — diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, liver, kidney and hormonal disorders — together, because they share causes, treatments and patients.

Why ten therapy areas?

Related topics, particularly overlapping cardiovascular and diabetes topics, were merged so each area reflects how diseases occur together in real patients.
