The human heart beats over 100,000 times daily, yet its crucial rhythm often goes unnoticed until health issues emerge. Worldwide, cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of illness and death, claiming millions of lives annually. Fortunately, early detection, regular check-ups, and healthier lifestyle choices can significantly reduce these risks.
On World Heart Day, observed on September 29, NMC Healthcare is motivating UAE communities to take proactive measures for better heart health. To celebrate, NMC is providing free screenings at selected hospitals, medical centers, and community locations nationwide.
These screenings aim to offer individuals a clear understanding of their cardiovascular health, including blood pressure checks, BMI evaluations, cholesterol and blood sugar tests, and, if needed, consultations with experienced specialists. Participants will also gain resources and expert advice to spot early warning signs and adopt heart-healthy habits.
“At NMC, prevention is the first step to protection. Through these screenings, we aim to empower people with knowledge and encourage lifestyle choices that support long-term heart health,” stated Dr. Zaka Ullah Khan, Group Chief Clinical Officer, NMC Healthcare.
Besides check-ups, NMC specialists will offer guidance on nutrition, exercise, stress management, and daily habits that strengthen and protect the heart. By integrating preventive healthcare into the community, NMC emphasizes its mission of prioritizing wellness and awareness in healthcare.
