Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death worldwide, claiming over 20.5 million lives annually. Early detection, awareness and simple life-style changes can help prevent 80% of these premature CVD deaths.

Thus, in recognition of World Heart Day, NMC Healthcare, one of the largest private healthcare networks in the UAE, is offering free health checks to UAE residents on 29th September 2024, at select malls and community shopping centres across the country.

The free health checks are part of NMC’s commitment to join the global call to raise awareness about heart health and accelerate actions to prevent, detect and manage cardiovascular diseases.

UAE residents can visit the NMC kiosks during designated hours to receive a basic health screening, which includes tests for blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure, as well as BMI measurements. No appointments are necessary.

“Global health days provide an excellent platform to raise awareness, foster understanding, and mobilise support for critical health issues and we, at NMC are dedicated to drive that positive change.” said David Hadley, CEO of NMC Healthcare. ” We welcome each one of you to undergo these health screenings at our kiosks on this World Heart Day and commit to prioritising your health”.
