Participants, including families, fitness enthusiasts and community leaders, enjoyed the fresh air and vibrant atmosphere, supported by volunteers from the Social Contribution Authority – Ma’an, NMC Specialty Hospital, Abu Dhabi; Royal NMC Hospital, Khalifa City; NMC ProVita; and CosmeSurge.
“We had a wonderful day outdoors with our community and were reminded of the important health benefits of leading an active lifestyle,” said Dr Deep Makkar, CEO of NMC Royal Hospital – Mohammed Bin Zayed City. “Regular physical activity, such as walking, has many benefits: it can help strengthen muscles, maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. It is also a great way to explore beautiful Abu Dhabi with family and friends.”
Speaking about the event, David Hadley, CEO of NMC Healthcare, said: “At NMC, we believe that a healthy community is a happy community. We are proud to contribute to a culture of wellness, which can help prevent health problems before they start and reduce the overall impact of disease on our community and our healthcare systems. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us today.”
Visitors stopped by NMC ProVita and CosmeSurge health booths to speak with health professionals, explore wellness resources and learn more about maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
