Novo Nordisk and MedGrocer have partnered for the launch of ForwardMG by MedGrocer, the Philippines’ first cardiometabolic-focused ePharmacy designed to support people living with obesity and other chronic diseases. By combining Novo Nordisk’s scientific leadership with MedGrocer’s digital healthcare expertise, the collaboration aims to make quality care more accessible, less intimidating, and patient-centered. ForwardMG provides a complete care ecosystem—including access to doctors, medicines, nutritionists, and mental health support—in one integrated platform. MedGrocer’s digitally-enabled healthcare solutions already serve over one million Filipinos each year, and this partnership further strengthens its vision to redefine chronic disease management in the country. This initiative also forms part of Novo Nordisk’s Truth About Weight (TAW) campaign, which raises awareness, combats stigma, and promotes informed, science-based approaches to obesity care.
