Kuwait Telecommunications Company - stc, a world-class digital leader providing innovative services and platforms to customers enabling the digital transformation in Kuwait, launched its awareness campaign in collaboration with Ali Abdulwahab Al-Mutawa Commercial Co. (AAW) Pharmaceuticals on ways to prevent spreading infectious diseases as part of its social responsibility agenda focusing on health, safety and spreading awareness.
In line with its health and well-being social responsibility initiatives, stc’s team represented by Ahmad AlNowaibet from Corporate Communications visited Kuwait International Airport to distribute face masks, sanitizers and information leaflets to airport staff, departing and returning passengers. The medical items distributed to all individuals were provided by both stc and AAW Pharmaceuticals’ teams.
Danah AlJasem, General Manager of Corporate Communications at stc, said, "This campaign, organized in collaboration with AAW Pharmaceuticals, came at a critical time with the current global outbreak of an infectious disease that is rapidly spreading. At stc, we believe that it is our social and personal responsibility to contribute and play a critical role in educating the Kuwaiti population on the various measures and safety precautions they can take to help prevent the disease from spreading to or infecting other individuals. Initiatives organized to inform and support the community reflect the key role that the private sector plays in the local and regional economy.”
AlJasem added that stc's contributions and attention in spreading awareness on various health related matters is a continuous and ongoing effort that the Company considers to be an essential pillar in its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda. Educating the community and spreading awareness on how to prevent diseases is one of the keys to a healthier lifestyle, which goes hand in hand with stc’s business model and mission to enable the digital transformation in Kuwait. Moreover, AlJasem added that stc will continue to organize and implement community-based proactive strategies that will develop and enhance the lives of the Kuwaiti society.
On this occasion, stc thanked all employees that were involved in successfully executing this initiative. The Company also expressed its gratitude for the cooperation it has received from various institutions and organizations to help spread awareness on methods to prevent spreading the infectious diseases. These include the Ministry of Health - Kuwait, the Ministry of Interior and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation under the supervision of Deputy Director-General for the Kuwaiti International Airport Affairs, engineer Saleh Al-Fadaghi, as well as all the airport employees who are working hard to regulate and properly manage the current situation. In addition to that, stc would like to thank AAW Pharmaceuticals’ team for their collaborative efforts and support in making this initiative an effective and educational one.
This campaign is a testament to stc’s commitment towards enhancing and supporting the local community, especially since its launch coincided with stc’s national and liberation days celebration campaign. The Company spares no effort when it comes to expressing its national pride and spirit in the Kuwaiti society, while sharing the joys of citizens during the special celebrations.
