NMC Healthcare offers free health checks on World Diabetes Day

NMC Healthcare, a leading private healthcare provider in the UAE, is providing complimentary health assessments on November 14 to observe World Diabetes Day. These evaluations will take place in various malls and community shopping centers throughout the country. Patients can receive these free screenings without scheduling an appointment at NMC kiosks.

The tests encompass blood cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure measurements, along with BMI calculations, which are crucial indicators for the early identification and prevention of Type 2 diabetes. Dr. Zaka ullah Khan, NMC Healthcare's Chief Clinical Officer, emphasized that diabetes can impact individuals of any age or background.

Early detection through screening allows patients to receive timely medical intervention and lifestyle modifications, which can significantly lower the risk of severe complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage, and eye problems. NMC Healthcare is dedicated to raising awareness about diabetes and the preventive measures on World Diabetes Day and every day.
