Twin campaigns focus on staying healthy for fast

Seha, the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company, has announced the launch of two awareness campaigns for the public specially for Ramadan. The campaigns aim to inform the general public on the importance of monitoring health and regulating medicine intake during the month of Ramadan for optimal lifestyle benefits. The first campaign, ‘Taking Your Medicine during Ramadan', focuses on balancing the desire to fast with one's medical needs. The campaign highlights four areas of interest, offering fasting tips for diabetic patients, individuals with heart disease, pregnant women, and children."Ramadan can offer a number of health benefits, especially when people monitor their dietary intake and ensure the maintenance of any medication regimens they are on. There are a number of precautions that can be taken to avoid common symptoms and issues, and Seha is proactively reaching out to ensure that everyone can observe Ramadan in the healthiest way possible," said Khalifa Al Ketbi, deputy chief of operations division at Seha. The second campaign, ‘A Healthy Ramadan', revolves around a cartoon character known as ‘Saeed' who dispenses health tips encouraging a healthy lifestyle during Ramadan. The campaign will feature in the print media besides radio and television. From / Gulf News
