Medeor 24x7 Hospital launches health majlis in Dubai

DUBAI, June 25, 2015

Dubai-based Medeor 24x7 Hospital has launched a Ramadan health majlis to keep a watch on health while fasting.

The Medeor Ramadan Health Majlis aims to enhance the healthy living habits of people, said a statement.

Dr Shajir Gaffar, chief executive officer of VPS Healthcare for Dubai and the Northern Emirates, said: “Keeping in line with these customs in the spirit of Ramadan, we decided to contribute to the community through a health Majlis. Most people will not avail of these simple check-ups which can help detect a more serious health problem due to financial constraints and lack of time. We hope through the Health Majlis people will focus on improving their health.

“If practiced properly, fasting during the Holy Month of Ramadan can have many health benefits. The Health Majlis seeks to promote these benefits which include fasting allows our digestive system to rest and detoxifies the body while promoting greater mental clarity. It also leads to increased energy levels and the heightened spirituality during the Holy Month results in tranquility of the heart and mind.”

Located at the front of the Medeor 24x7 Hospital, Dubai, the Ramadan Health Majlis will be operational until the end of Ramadan.

The tent is fully equipped with all amenities and the community and visitors can enjoy consultations with a general practitioner, specialists, dietician and physiotherapist free of charge.

Counters are available for people to do a primary check-up including blood pressure, blood sugar levels and BMI.  

Specialist doctors will also be on hand to answer any queries and concerns a person may have.

Meanwhile, Qur’an reading competitions for kids and adults will be conducted the Majilis and it has also organised painting competition which will keep children engaged while the parents consult the doctor and avail free checkups. - TradeArabia News Service
