Zain, the leading digital service provider in Kuwait, held a “Health Day” initiative for its staff at the company’s main headquarters in Shuwaikh. The event brought in many doctors and medical experts on a weekly basis to take part in awareness programs and medical sessions that covered the most important health topics.
The initiative came under the umbrella of Zain’s internal communications strategy that closely focuses on catering to all aspects of employees’ personal and professional lives. The company continuously enriches its direct relationship with its staff in and out of the workplace environment, catering to their most important needs like health, culture, sports, entertainment, and other programs. Zain considers its workforce the main element behind its success as the leader of the Kuwaiti telecom sector.
Zain’s Health Day sessions featured talks about the most important health areas, including diets and living a healthy lifestyle with Internal Medicine Expert and Clinical Nutritionist Dr. Samer Ashour, mental health awareness and living a balanced lifestyle with Psychiatrist Dr. Mohammed Al Suwaidan, top health tips for the workplace with Family Medicine Expert Dr. Ahmad Abdulmalek, keeping a healthy heart with Cardiac Surgeon Dr. Mohammed Al Banna and Cardiac Catheterization Consultant Dr. Dhirar Al Khudair, and breast cancer awareness with Surgical Oncology Consultant Dr. Nuha Al Saleh. The sessions witnessed great interest and interaction from Zain employees.
The Health Day program also featured many activities that offered Zain employees a chance to check up on their overall health while at work, including routine checkups for blood pressure and sugar levels, as well as winter vaccinations for seasonal influenza and acute bacterial pneumonia.
Zain is keen on partnering with various medical institutions from both the private and public sectors to launch similar programs and conduct awareness campaigns, informative sessions, vaccination campaigns, blood drives, and more.
