Clinic offers free medical check-up for labourers   

Gulf Today - 25 July, 2012

As part of Holy Ramadan activities, the Dubai Municipality Clinic and Medical Services Section launched a range of community activities in co-operation with the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing through the 11th Ramadan Forum, which was launched on Tuesday and will continue until August 4.

The drive is aimed at spreading awareness on the importance of healthy living. The clinic’s participation in the Ramadan Forum at Al Tawar tent includes an integral medical programme for medical check-up and awareness on epidemic diseases and sugar levels.

Distribution of 200 sugar-testing devices and medical check-up will be conducted with the participation of the private sector.

Among the most prominent initiatives launched by the municipality during the Holy Month is the treatment of fasting people to support labourers from low-income groups. This initiative will run until August 4 in the Ramadan tent for workers in Muhaisnah area, said Dr Munir Hamad, senior doctor at the Municipality Clinic.
