Concept of Filipino Wellness Programme

“Filipino Wellness Drive”

In association with Badr Al-Samaa Medical Center, Dubai.

“REFRESH YOUR HEALTH”

Ongoing Free Comprehensive Health Check-up
A True Health Awareness Drive from 1st-31st Jan 2012, between 8am-2 pm on all days.

A unique concept for the first time that any private health care centre can offer. A checkup which is totally free of cost, each and every person who does this checkup will know about his or her general health status which will help the patients in taking early steps to control and prevent any abnormal condition from further complications. This is truly a community initiative dedicated to the people of Dubai by Badr Al-Samaa MedicalCenter.

A one month long medical checkup program is organized from 1st Jan 2012 to 31st Jan 2012 timings 8.00AM to 02.00 PM, on all days including Fridays to allow families to plan visits to our medical centre at their convenient timings to utilize the unique opportunity. This check is offered totally free of cost and is specially designed to include BMI, BP check, blood investigation for Diabetes, Cholesterol, Liver and Kidney diseases. These arrays of tests will give a more comprehensive overview of a person’s health with minimum tests and maximum information; more specific tests will be required in case abnormal readings of the test results are found. Patients are also offered a special privilege coupon which can be used for doctor’s consultation and other investigations.

Due to current life style of fast food habits & growing stress, health is often neglected. Early detection is the best way for prevention of future complications. We at Badr Al Samaa believe that this exercise would present an opportunity to know the status of the people’s health, thus helping us in our fight against global health problems.”

Generally free medical check-ups are conducted in a simple way with BP check, GRBS and a general doctor consultation, this alone cannot figure out the health status of people who attend free medical checkups. At Badr Al Samaa group of Hospitals and Polyclinics we aim to create awareness on various health issues by encouraging the community to take part in medical checkups like Thyroid detection camp, Prostate & cancer check-ups, Breast cancer check-up, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Eye care, Diabetic Foot Management and Well Women Check-up etc. With growing concerns on the number of people suffering from problems which are termed ‘Silent Killer Diseases’, routine screening tests is the best way to detect the presence of their conditions.

Al Hilal Hospital Bahrain a member of Badr Al Samaa group is a trendsetter in medical campaigning. “Come Back to Good Health” campaign held in July 2011, Beat Diabetics, “Celebrating Motherhood, Free Comprehensive Women’s Check-up” in Nov 2011 were some of the successful campaigns were thousands of people attended and benefited.

Today’s hectic lifestyle and cost factor has made it difficult for people to pay attention to their healthcare needs. Health should be at the top of all priorities and we at Badr Al Samaa Group of Hospital and Polyclinic urge Filipino communities to give importance and make good use of such excellent opportunities to keep constant checks on your health conditions so as to detect any ailment at the beginning stage.
