Paes confirmed his campaign promise to distribute a generic version of the diabetes and weight-loss drug Ozempic through public health clinics starting in 2026. The initiative, led by the city's Health Secretary Daniel Soranz, aims to combat obesity, a significant public health issue in Rio. Additionally, Paes plans to establish an armed municipal security force to enhance safety in areas controlled by crime.
